UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory Limited bought advisory and consultancy services to support its staff with internal development work for WIT 2 coding, in support of HALES. The requirement falls within software programming and consultancy services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers consultancy input rather than a defined software supply or construction project, so it is most relevant to businesses that can provide specialist technical advice alongside practical support for coding and internal development activities. The buyer is the National Nuclear Laboratory, a public authority based in Warrington. The work was awarded as a services requirement through a single procurement lot.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Grallator, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 27 August 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £30,540 excluding VAT, or £36,648 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold and used a method recorded as unknown. It comprised one completed lot. The awarded contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process that led to Grallator’s selection, but the published outcome does not set out the individual evaluation criteria or an award weighting. The contract is for services rather than goods or works.

This award indicates demand from the National Nuclear Laboratory for specialist consultancy that can help its staff develop and maintain WIT 2 coding in support of HALES. Businesses best placed for similar work would combine software programming knowledge with the ability to advise an in-house technical team, contribute directly to internal development, and understand how coding work supports a wider nuclear laboratory or engineering programme. Credibility would come from demonstrable consultancy experience, strong technical communication, and the capacity to work collaboratively with client staff rather than simply delivering a standalone application. The award to an SME also shows that a smaller specialist provider can meet this type of requirement.
