Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) / Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) involves a direct award contract for catering services, specifically labeled "Catering - FTU North." This contract falls under the industry category of "food, beverages, tobacco and related products" and is set to be delivered in the UKD region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was carried out following a direct award method, due to a lack of suitable tenders in a preceding competitive process under a framework. The award was documented on 8th July 2026, and the contract period is scheduled from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2030.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in catering and related food services. Due to the direct award nature of this contract, businesses with proven experience in the sector and the capability to serve the CNPA/CNC effectively are well-positioned to gain a foothold or expand their presence in the public sector. With a total value of £450,000, this contract offers a substantial business opportunity over four years, encouraging enterprises in the catering industry to align their services with public procurement requirements.
