UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited procured specialist electrical services for a full inspection and testing of the earthing infrastructure serving seven 11/3 and 3/0.415kV substation assets. The requirement concerns high-voltage earthing protection and the associated substation infrastructure, rather than general electrical installation or routine maintenance. The work is for the buyer’s nuclear restoration operations, with the buying organisation based in Warrington. The procurement was categorised as electrical services. The selected supplier, Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited, is based in Glasgow. This requirement is therefore relevant to businesses with specialist high-voltage electrical inspection, earthing, testing and substation engineering capability, particularly those able to work on complex or safety-critical infrastructure.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 13 July 2026 to 2 October 2026. Its value is £26,230 excluding VAT, or £31,476 including VAT. One lot was awarded, covering the complete inspection and testing requirement for the substation earthing assets. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The available process information identifies the route as limited competition below the applicable threshold; the published outcome does not set out a separate weighted evaluation breakdown. The buyer is Nuclear Restoration Services Limited.

This procurement is useful market evidence for electrical engineering firms targeting Nuclear Restoration Services Limited and similar nuclear restoration requirements. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in high-voltage earthing protection, electrical inspection and testing, and substation assets covering multiple voltage levels. Experience of planning and carrying out technically rigorous examinations across several substations would be important, as would the ability to produce reliable test results and inspection findings for a safety-critical operating environment. The award to a large consulting and engineering business indicates that the requirement can suit suppliers with established technical teams, suitable project management capacity and the organisational strength to manage specialist work for a public nuclear-sector buyer. Firms offering only general electrical maintenance are less closely aligned.
