UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Waste Services Limited procured construction works to install a Wildlife Tower at its Drigg site in Cumbria. The requirement covers the installation and construction of the tower, classified as construction work. The work is associated with the buyer’s nuclear waste management site and is located at Drigg, near Seascale, in Cumbria. The selected contractor was Stobbarts Limited, a large construction supplier based in Workington. This opportunity is relevant to businesses with experience in construction and installation projects, particularly those able to work on operational or specialist industrial sites in Cumbria. The buyer is a sub-central public authority, so suppliers should also be familiar with delivering construction works for public sector organisations and complying with site-specific requirements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Stobbarts Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition under a limited procurement method. The tender had one completed lot. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and has an active period from 17 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its gross value is £136,093.56. The award is active and relates to the completed lot. The published outcome identifies construction works as the procurement category and construction work as the classification. The contract title is Wildlife Tower Installation. The process was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome records the selected supplier and contract terms rather than separate evaluation weightings or detailed participation criteria.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Nuclear Waste Services Limited for focused construction and installation work at its Drigg site. A credible future competitor would need to show practical capability in constructing and installing specialist structures, managing site activities safely and coordinating delivery within a controlled industrial environment. Experience of working for public sector or infrastructure operators would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where projects require disciplined planning, reliable workmanship and compliance with site rules. Local or regional businesses in Cumbria may be well placed because Stobbarts Limited is based in Workington, although the requirement is specifically for construction delivery rather than general facilities services. Firms able to provide an appropriately sized project team and complete a defined works package should monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements.
