UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting authority, Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, has engaged directly with Portakabin Limited for the continued provision of existing site accommodation and ancillary buildings at the Hinkley site. This procurement falls under the services category and involves a direct award approach due to the technical complexities and requirements at a radiologically controlled site. The contract is valued at approximately £622,088.72 gross and is set to commence on 14th August 2026, running through to 30th October 2029. This tender, which is in the award stage, supports operations within the Hinkley site, located in Warrington, UK. Key dates include an upcoming standstill period that ends on 13th August 2026.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in durable and reliable accommodation services. Enterprises capable of providing modular and temporary building solutions could benefit from similar tenders, particularly those with expertise in managing complex site conditions and stringent safety requirements. The contract's nature suggests that large-scale companies like Portakabin Limited, who are able to navigate the technical and logistical demands, are well-suited to compete in this sector. Engaging in such contracts allows businesses to enhance their reputation and expand their portfolio in governmental and specialised nuclear site projects.

Notice Description

Continued provision of existing site accommodation and ancillary buildings at the Hinkley site

Procurement Information

NRS considers Paragraph 6 applies as the services provided by Portakabin Limited are critical to ongoing operation of Hinkley A. Whilst it is possible to replace the existing service this introduces a technical difficulty because the accommodation is currently located within a radiologically controlled area resulting in technical complexity whereby an alternative arrangement would result in a gap in services that cannot be tolerated. Accordingly there are no reasonable alternatives. The services are already in place and the subject of a contract novation to Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS). This is a direct award for the purposes of Procurement Act 2023 and is being made pursuant to Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023 Following completion of this novated contract, all future requirements will be progressed through NRS's established procurement processes and in continued compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23). Portakabin Limited is neither an excluded or excludable supplier. A Contract Award Notice and Contract Details Notice will follow in accordance with Procurement Act 2023
