UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited procured a shielded transfer pot basket removal tool for use at its DNA site. The requirement covers the complete STP Basket Removal Assembly, including the supply of technical documentation and materials, manufacture, inspection and testing. Following completion of the works testing, the contractor is responsible for delivery to the site. This is an engineering services requirement, classified under CPV 71300000. The buyer is a public authority based in Warrington and the work is associated with nuclear restoration activities. The requirement is focused on the design and production of a specialist tool and its supporting assurance and delivery activities, rather than general engineering support or routine equipment supply. It would suit businesses able to manage the complete manufacturing and testing process for a safety-sensitive engineering assembly.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded without competition using a below-threshold direct procurement route. One lot was completed, with Penny Engineering Limited selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 24 December 2026. Its value is £28,309.50 excluding VAT, or £33,971.40 including VAT. The contract covers the shielded transfer pot basket removal tool and associated assembly work. The published outcome records one active award and one active contract. The process was evaluated through a direct award rather than a competitive tender, so the route provides a clear indication that the buyer may use specialist supplier capability and an established technical solution for this type of requirement.

This procurement is relevant to specialist engineering manufacturers with experience of producing bespoke tools or assemblies for nuclear, radioactive or otherwise controlled environments. A credible competitor would need to control the full delivery chain: preparing technical documentation, sourcing suitable materials, manufacturing the assembly, carrying out inspection and testing, and delivering equipment to a nuclear restoration site. Evidence of robust quality assurance, traceability, inspection capability and testing arrangements would be important when demonstrating the ability to support safety-sensitive work. The successful supplier is an SME engineering business, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a major contractor. Businesses that can combine practical fabrication with documented engineering assurance and reliable site delivery are the closest match for this buyer’s requirement.
