UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority procured technical support for the SDR Technical Support 2026/2027 project, under reference C29663.001. The requirement is a professional services engagement covering research, development and related consultancy services. It is intended to support the Authority’s SDR project rather than supply physical goods or construction works. The buyer is the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a central government public authority based in Cumbria. The contracting process covers one requirement, with the service delivered for the Authority’s project during the contract period. This opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancies and technical advisers able to provide structured project support, research and development expertise, and associated professional advice for a public-sector client.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to TUV SUD Ltd. The award was made on 3 August 2026, and the contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 11 August 2027. Its value is £71,225 excluding VAT, or £85,470 including VAT. This is a below-threshold award made under a framework, using a selective procedure, and the process was not competitive at call-off stage. One lot was completed and awarded. The contract is active. Delivery is governed by proposed timelines and costings, regular monthly project and cost reporting, quarterly social value reporting, and a change process requiring the Authority’s approval before changes or additional spending. The recorded supplier is TUV SUD Ltd.

This award indicates demand for specialist technical support, research and development consultancy and structured project assistance from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need the technical capability to support an SDR project, produce agreed deliverables to time and cost, and provide clear evidence of progress and expenditure. Strong project governance would be important, including regular reporting, reliable cost tracking and disciplined control of changes or additional spend. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate how they embed social value throughout delivery, particularly through actions addressing inequality in employment, skills and pay within the contract workforce. Experience of working with public-sector clients and delivering measurable, well-documented consultancy outputs would strengthen a competing proposition.
