Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited is procuring specialist consultancy services for the end states programme. The requirement is divided between radiological support at the Traws site and optimisation studies across the NRS fleet. Lot 1 covers radiological support at the Traws site only. Lot 2 covers fleet-wide optimisation studies. Both lots are classified as business and management consultancy services. The work is for Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a public authority responsible for nuclear restoration activities. Suppliers interested in either requirement need to register on the Atamis system and the Central Digital Platform to participate. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and suppliers can apply for either Lot 1 or Lot 2.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers using an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 20 August 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 3 September 2026 at 12:00. Offers were to be evaluated on price and expenses only, weighted at 100%. Suppliers could bid for, and be awarded, a maximum of one lot. The estimated total value is £995,000 excluding VAT (£1,194,000 including VAT): £245,000 excluding VAT for Lot 1 and £750,000 excluding VAT for Lot 2. Contracts were planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2031, with one optional year available, extending the maximum period to 1 October 2032. The award decision was due by 1 October 2026.

This opportunity suits consultancy businesses able to provide specialist radiological support or optimisation studies in a nuclear restoration environment. Lot 1 is relevant to suppliers with capability in radiological support at an individual site, specifically the Traws site. Lot 2 is relevant to organisations able to undertake optimisation studies across a fleet of nuclear assets or facilities. The requirement is commercially accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises, although each supplier may pursue only one lot. Because price and expenses are the sole evaluation basis, bidders need to present a clear, competitive and fully costed offer for their chosen service. Electronic tendering is permitted in English through the buyer’s procurement system, and interested businesses must complete the required platform registrations before participating.
