UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority commissioned a review of the scope expansion of the UK Funded Decommissioning Programme (FDP). This is a research and development consultancy service, covering the review work set out under the FDP and called off from the Authority’s Strategy Framework C29663. The buyer is the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a central government public authority based in Cumbria. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing specialist research, analysis and consultancy for decommissioning programmes, particularly those able to assess programme scope and produce evidence-based recommendations. The awarded supplier, TUV SUD Ltd, is based in East Kilbride, Glasgow. The procurement concerns one completed service requirement rather than construction, equipment supply or routine operational support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded without competition under a selective, below-threshold framework call-off. TUV SUD Ltd received the award on 10 July 2026. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and runs from 13 July to 12 August 2026, with a possible one-month extension to 11 September 2026 subject to the Authority’s approval. Its value is £20,200 excluding VAT, or £24,240 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. One lot was completed and awarded. Evaluation details are not stated beyond the framework call-off route and the absence of a competitive process. Contract performance covers deliverables against agreed timelines and costings, monthly reporting, Authority approval for changes or additional spend, and quarterly social value reporting.

This award indicates demand for specialist consultancy supporting the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s funded decommissioning programme and its scope decisions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in research, analysis and related consultancy for complex decommissioning or other highly regulated programmes. It would need to turn a defined specification into deliverables with clear timelines and costings, provide regular project and cost reporting, and operate a disciplined change-control process requiring client approval before additional work or spend. Evidence of embedding social value throughout delivery would also be important, including action on inequality in employment, skills and pay within the contract workforce. Experience of working through a public-sector framework and producing auditable outputs would strengthen a supplier’s position.
