UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory Limited procured public relations services to support the launch and publication of its strategic plan. The requirement covers supplier support for UKNNL’s strategic plan publication and delivery of the associated launch activity. The buying organisation is United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory Limited, based in Warrington. Delivery was across the United Kingdom. This is a communications and public relations requirement rather than a technical nuclear, construction or laboratory-services contract. It would suit agencies and communications consultancies able to plan and deliver a strategic corporate publication launch for a public-sector or research-focused organisation, with the ability to manage messaging, coordination and public-facing activity.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, and DRP (UK) Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 28 July 2026 to 18 September 2026. Its value is £30,945 excluding VAT, or £37,134 including VAT. The contracted service is classified as public relations services. The requirement was to support the launch of UKNNL’s strategic plan publication, with delivery due by 18 September 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a limited competition under the light-touch regime.

This award indicates demand from UKNNL for focused corporate communications support around a strategic-plan publication and its public launch. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need public relations expertise, strong strategic messaging and the ability to turn organisational plans into clear external communications. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established communications agencies or consultancies with experience of public-sector, science, engineering or other complex institutional audiences. They should be able to manage a time-bound launch, coordinate stakeholders, produce polished publication-related communications and deliver reliably within a short implementation window. The limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers need a clear, relevant capability profile and evidence of comparable delivery to be considered credible.
