UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited procured ground investigation works for the DN026 compound, under the requirement titled D2185 Ground Investigation. The work covers investigation of ground conditions and is classified as ground investigation work (CPV 45111250). Delivery is in the United Kingdom. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited is the buying organisation and is a public authority involved in nuclear restoration. The requirement is relevant to contractors providing ground investigation, drilling and geotechnical services, particularly those able to support investigation works at compounds and sites associated with nuclear restoration activities. The selected supplier, Igne, trading as Raeburn Drilling & Geotechnical Ltd, is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Igne, trading as Raeburn Drilling & Geotechnical Ltd, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and runs from 9 July 2026 to 29 September 2026. Its value is £32,327.80 excluding VAT, or £38,793.36 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the ground investigation works for the DN026 compound. The procurement was completed through a non-competitive route, so the outcome demonstrates a direct purchasing decision rather than evaluation of competing bids. No separate award date is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Nuclear Restoration Services Limited for specialist ground investigation works supporting a compound within its nuclear restoration estate. A credible competitor for comparable requirements would need practical capability in ground investigation, drilling and geotechnical work, together with the equipment, competent personnel and operational capacity to investigate site conditions and deliver a defined package of works within a short contract period. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a major national contractor. Suppliers monitoring this buyer should therefore assess their experience of comparable site investigations, their ability to work in complex or safety-sensitive environments, and their readiness to engage through direct, below-threshold purchasing routes.
