Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, through its Dounreay operation, commissioned the manufacture of equipment for the M2 Adaptor Frame. The requirement is classified as works and concerns construction work associated with a manufacturing plant. The work is connected with the buyer’s nuclear restoration activities at Dounreay, with the awarded supplier based in Thurso. This is a specialist equipment-manufacturing requirement rather than a general supply contract, and is relevant to businesses that can design, fabricate or manufacture equipment for industrial or nuclear-sector applications.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to JGC Engineering and Technical Services. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis. One lot was awarded. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026, runs from 18 August 2026 to 22 September 2026, and is valued at £37,150.89 excluding VAT (£44,581.07 including VAT). The recorded outcome identifies JGC Engineering and Technical Services as the sole supplier. The published procurement information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or comparative tender process.

This award indicates demand from Nuclear Restoration Services Limited for specialist equipment manufacture supporting its Dounreay nuclear restoration programme. Competitors targeting similar future requirements would need credible capability to manufacture equipment for an adaptor-frame application and to deliver construction or manufacturing-plant work to the required technical standard. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established engineering and technical-services businesses able to undertake controlled fabrication, manage project-specific production and work within the expectations of a nuclear-sector public body. The awarded supplier’s scale and Thurso base also indicate that regional engineering capacity and the ability to support work at or near Dounreay may be commercially relevant when this buyer’s equipment requirements return.
