Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited is procuring high-resolution gamma spectrometry equipment, including testing and commissioning. This is a specialist laboratory, optical and precision-equipment requirement, covering the provision of HRGS rather than a general measurement or laboratory supply. The equipment and associated commissioning support the buyer’s nuclear restoration activities. The contracting authority is Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, based in Warrington. The awarded supplier, Advanced Measurement Technology (Ametek), is based in Wokingham, Berkshire. The requirement is organised as a single procurement covering the full HRGS provision, with the equipment supply and associated testing and commissioning treated together rather than as separate work packages.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Advanced Measurement Technology (Ametek). It used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £107,000 excluding VAT, or £128,400 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement for high-resolution gamma spectrometry, including testing and commissioning. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited selected Ametek through the direct-award route; the published information does not set out a competitive evaluation or scored award basis. The procurement is therefore an outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award indicates a requirement for specialist high-resolution gamma spectrometry equipment combined with the technical capability to test and commission it. Suppliers seeking comparable work with Nuclear Restoration Services Limited would need credible expertise in gamma spectrometry and precision measurement systems, as well as the practical resources to install, test and bring equipment into service. The successful supplier is a large organisation, suggesting that the requirement can suit businesses with established technical delivery capacity and the ability to support a complete equipment-and-commissioning package. Experience supplying laboratory, optical or precision equipment would be relevant, particularly where it is used in demanding nuclear restoration measurement activities. The requirement demonstrates a defined specialist demand from this buyer.
