UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority commissioned research and related consultancy services for GEHC tritium liability management options. The work is intended to support assessment of available liability-management approaches under the Authority’s Strategy Framework C29663. It falls within research, development and associated consultancy rather than construction, equipment supply or routine operational services. The named buyer is the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a central government public authority. The procurement relates to the Authority’s nuclear decommissioning responsibilities, with the contract title referring specifically to GEHC tritium liabilities. The requirement was organised as a single lot and delivered by TUV SUD Ltd, a large supplier based in East Kilbride. The work therefore suits organisations able to provide specialist technical analysis and consultancy on tritium-related liability options in a nuclear or decommissioning context.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a non-competitive call-off under the Strategy Framework C29663, using a selective procedure for a below-threshold framework award. The contract was awarded to TUV SUD Ltd on 20 July 2026 and signed on the same date. The contract value is £55,586.85 excluding VAT, or £66,704.22 including VAT. The contract period runs from 20 July to 19 October 2026, with a possible one-month extension to 19 November 2026 subject to Authority approval. One lot was completed. Evaluation was not competitive for this call-off. Contract performance includes deliverables against agreed timelines and costings, monthly project and cost reporting, Authority approval for changes or additional spending, and quarterly social-value reporting.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it indicates the type of specialist capability the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority uses for tritium liability-management work. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable research and development expertise, related consultancy experience, and the ability to assess and explain practical management options for nuclear or decommissioning liabilities. Suppliers would also need disciplined project delivery: meeting agreed deliverables, timelines and costings; providing clear monthly progress and financial updates; and operating a controlled change process that prevents unapproved additional work or spending. The Authority also expects social value to be embedded and evidenced, including action on inequality in employment, skills and pay within the contract workforce. Access to the relevant strategy framework is important for this procurement route.
