Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority procured maintenance of the security systems at its Helios Hub. The requirement is an annual subscription for security-system maintenance, including repair and maintenance services for security equipment (CPV 50610000). The work is for the Authority’s Helios Hub in Cumbria. This is a central government public authority requirement connected with the operation of a nuclear decommissioning organisation. It is therefore relevant to businesses providing planned and reactive maintenance, technical support and service continuity for installed security systems in sensitive or highly controlled environments. The requirement concerns an ongoing service relationship for one operational site rather than the supply of new security equipment or a construction project. The selected supplier is Inspired Integrated Systems, based in Welwyn Garden City.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and the contract was awarded to Inspired Integrated Systems. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £38,210.75 excluding VAT and £45,852.90 including VAT. The contract is active. The published evaluation route was therefore a direct award rather than a competitive tender, and the recorded procurement category is services. The arrangement is an annual subscription for maintenance of security systems at the NDA Helios Hub, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the contracted security-equipment maintenance service throughout the contract period.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority for continuing maintenance of security systems at its Helios Hub. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in repairing and maintaining security equipment, together with the capacity to support an ongoing subscription-based service rather than a one-off installation. Experience of maintaining installed systems, responding reliably to operational issues and sustaining service continuity would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be able to work for a central government organisation associated with nuclear decommissioning, where controlled sites and dependable security arrangements are likely to make delivery discipline important. The incumbent is a large supplier, indicating that the requirement can suit businesses able to provide sufficient technical resource and organisational capacity for a sustained public-sector service relationship.
