UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority bought research, development and related consultancy services to support the Ministry of Defence with submarine disposals. The requirement was titled “Submarine Disposals – Support to MOD” and was a call-off from the Strategy Framework C29663. The NDA is a UK central government authority responsible for the procurement and the associated public-sector requirement. The service category is research and development consultancy, with a specific focus on providing support connected with submarine disposal activity. The procurement covered one service requirement. The source information identifies the NDA as the buyer and TUV SUD Ltd as the selected supplier. The work is associated with the NDA’s activities in Cumbria, although no separate delivery location is stated.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TUV SUD Ltd under a selective, below-threshold framework call-off without a competitive process for this award. The award was made on 20 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 August 2026. Its value is £26,192.50 excluding VAT, or £31,431 including VAT. One lot was completed and awarded. The evaluation route was an award under the existing Strategy Framework C29663 rather than a new open competition. The agreed performance requirements cover delivery against proposed timelines and costings, regular monthly project and cost reporting, approval of changes or additional spending by the NDA, and quarterly social-value reporting.

This award indicates demand for specialist research, development and consultancy capability applied to submarine disposal and Ministry of Defence support. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need relevant technical and advisory experience, the ability to produce deliverables to agreed programmes and costings, and strong project controls. The buyer also expects regular reporting that tracks progress, expenditure and delivery, together with a disciplined change-control process requiring approval before additional work or spending. Suppliers should be able to evidence social value throughout delivery, including practical action on inequality in employment, skills and pay within the contract workforce. Experience of working through a government framework and meeting public-sector governance and reporting expectations would also be important.
