UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, specifically its Dounreay operation, procured services to verify containers held in its Low Level Waste Stores (LLWS). The work falls within nuclear decommissioning and low-level waste management, with the stated classification of decommissioning services (CPV 98391000). The requirement concerns checking and verifying waste containers rather than supplying containers or carrying out general construction. The buyer is a public authority responsible for nuclear restoration. The services are associated with Dounreay in Scotland, while Nuclear Restoration Services Limited is based at Risley, Warrington. The selected supplier, NSG Environmental Ltd, is a large environmental services business, indicating a requirement suited to established providers of specialist waste, decommissioning or nuclear-site support services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. NSG Environmental Ltd received the single award for the one lot. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £70,000 excluding VAT and £84,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The award was made for services, evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. This is a concluded procurement, not an opportunity to submit a bid.

For businesses tracking this buyer, the procurement demonstrates demand for specialist verification of containers in low-level waste stores at Dounreay. Credible competitors would need capability in environmental services, nuclear decommissioning or radioactive-waste operations, with the technical competence to inspect and verify stored waste containers accurately and consistently. Experience of working in controlled nuclear or hazardous-waste environments would be commercially relevant, as would suitable quality, safety and regulatory systems for work connected with nuclear restoration. The incumbent is a large environmental services company, so suppliers considering future work of this type should be able to demonstrate dependable operational capacity, competent personnel and the governance needed to support a nuclear-site requirement.
