Summary of the contracting process

International Nuclear Services Limited is planning a services procurement for the build, implementation and support of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, together with associated planning and reporting tools. The requirement includes financial systems software, ERP software and ERP software development services. The purpose is to support the buyer’s strategy development and future procurement requirements by understanding what the market can provide. Delivery is intended across the United Kingdom. The buyer is International Nuclear Services Limited, based at Hinton House, Risley, Warrington. The planned requirement is structured as one lot and concerns a business-wide technology implementation rather than the supply of standalone software alone.

This process is at the planning stage and is currently a Request for Information (RFI), not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use market responses to shape its strategy and the requirements of a future procurement. RFI responses are due by 7 August 2026 at 23:59. The buyer expects a subsequent notice on 1 October 2026. The planned contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2031. The estimated value is £1,500,000 excluding VAT, or £1,800,000 including VAT. The procurement is above the relevant threshold. It is one lot, with an overall planning status. The buyer has amended the engagement information, including participation instructions and the RFI submission deadline.

This engagement is relevant to ERP suppliers and implementation partners able to provide, configure, integrate and support enterprise resource planning systems, particularly financial systems and related planning and reporting tools. The buyer is seeking to understand market capability and capacity, so suppliers should be prepared to explain their delivery model, implementation resources, support arrangements and experience of comparable ERP programmes. The work is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to organisations that can demonstrate the required technical and delivery capability without being a large prime contractor. Suppliers with relevant software development and long-term systems support experience should consider contributing to the RFI to help shape the future requirement.
