UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority commissioned consultancy and research services to review its Radioactive Waste Strategy 2019 project. The work is a call-off from the C29663 Strategy Framework and concerns the review of the authority’s radioactive waste strategy and associated project requirements. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction, classified under CPV 73000000 for research and development services and related consultancy services. The buying organisation is the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a central government public authority. The supplier’s work is associated with the authority’s UK nuclear decommissioning programme; the buyer is based in Cumbria, while the awarded supplier, TUV SUD LTD, is based in East Kilbride, Glasgow.

This procurement has been completed and awarded under a selective, below-threshold framework call-off, without a competitive process for this call-off. TUV SUD LTD was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 8 March 2027. Its value is £56,920 excluding VAT and £68,304 including VAT. The contract is active. The agreed performance basis covers delivery to proposed timelines and costings and in line with the specification; monthly project and cost reporting; prior Nuclear Decommissioning Authority approval for changes or additional spend; and quarterly social value reporting. Social value evidence must address inequality in employment, skills and pay within the contract workforce.

This requirement is relevant to organisations providing radioactive waste, nuclear decommissioning, environmental or related research and consultancy services. A credible competitor would need to review a strategic waste programme, interpret technical and project information, and produce deliverables against an agreed specification, timetable and cost plan. The contract also indicates that the buyer values disciplined project governance: regular progress and cost reporting, formal control of changes and additional expenditure, and clear evidence that commitments are being delivered. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate practical social value through actions addressing inequality in employment, skills and pay among the contract workforce, with evidence suitable for periodic reporting. Experience of public-sector or regulated nuclear work would help establish credibility for a future requirement of this type.
