Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority commissioned Project Saltus – 26/27 Strategic Support. This is a services requirement covering strategic support delivered through a framework call-off, with the associated work classified as research and development, research consultancy and research services. The procurement is intended to support the Authority’s Project Saltus activity during the 2026/27 period. The buying organisation is the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a central government public authority. The supplier’s work is therefore relevant to organisations providing strategic advice, research support or related consultancy to public-sector programmes, particularly where assignments require structured deliverables, project reporting and controlled management of changes. The procurement data does not identify a separate delivery location beyond the Authority as the buyer.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective, non-competitive call-off under the Strategy FW C29663 framework. There was one completed lot. TUV SUD Ltd was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 13 August 2026 to 10 November 2027. Its value is £179,993.75 excluding VAT, or £215,992.50 including VAT. The award and contract are both active. The process used a framework award rather than a new open competition, and the data records the call-off as non-competitive. Contract performance includes deliverables against agreed timelines and costings, monthly project and cost reporting, quarterly social-value reporting, and prior Nuclear Decommissioning Authority approval for changes or additional spend.

This award indicates demand for a strategic-support provider able to combine research consultancy with practical programme delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to produce agreed deliverables to timetable and within costings, provide regular monthly reporting that allows the buyer to track progress, expenditure and delivery, and operate a documented change-control process requiring approval before changes or additional spend. The buyer also expects social value to be embedded throughout delivery, with reporting that evidences action on inequality in employment, skills and pay across the contract workforce. Organisations with public-sector consultancy experience, disciplined project-management and reporting arrangements, research capability, and the capacity to monitor social-value commitments would be well placed to compete when this type of strategic-support requirement returns.
