UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "CPT_26_08 - Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) Technical Expert." This contract, categorized under the services industry, specifically financial auditing services, is based in the United Kingdom. The procurement process has reached the award stage as of 5th August 2026, indicating the finalisation of the contract. The contract, aimed at providing specialist technical advisory services, was awarded directly to CYCLIFE UK LTD without competition, a common approach for low-value contracts. The contract is set to run from 15th May 2026 to 14th May 2029, with a total gross value of £54,000.

This contract presents a growth opportunity for businesses operating in or planning to expand into the nuclear sector, particularly those with expertise in technical advisory and financial auditing services. The specialised nature of the work suggests medium to large enterprises with experience in the nuclear industry would be best positioned to compete for similar tenders. Although CYCLIFE UK LTD was the selected supplier, other businesses with the capacity to offer independent expert advice and tailored analytical support may find potential opportunities in upcoming contracts of a similar nature.
