UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited procured construction works for shaft headworks concrete cutting and removal. The work covers cutting and removing all sections of the cover and capping slabs that overhang and reduce the shaft’s clear opening, including the overhanging permanent formwork. This is a specialist physical works requirement involving concrete cutting, controlled removal and clearance of structural slab and formwork sections around a shaft opening. The named buying organisation is Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a public authority involved in nuclear restoration. The procurement is classified as construction work. The requirement is suited to contractors with practical capability in concrete sawing and cutting, structural concrete removal and work around existing shaft headworks, rather than general supply businesses or professional services providers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, with Core Cut Ltd selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and is active from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £852,976 excluding VAT and £1,023,571.20 including VAT. The award concerns the full shaft headworks concrete cutting and removal requirement. Evaluation was conducted through a limited competition, so the route involved a restricted group of potential suppliers rather than an open tender. The outcome demonstrates that the buyer selected a specialist construction contractor for this defined package of concrete cutting and removal works.

This award is commercially relevant to contractors that can deliver specialist concrete cutting and removal around existing industrial or nuclear-related structures. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience of cutting through substantial concrete slabs, removing overhanging sections and permanent formwork, and leaving a shaft opening clear and safe. Practical capability in sequencing cutting and lifting or removing sections, controlling debris and protecting adjacent structures would be important to this type of work. The selected supplier is an SME specialising in core cutting, indicating that a focused specialist contractor can satisfy the requirement rather than only a large general construction group. Businesses should also be prepared to compete through a limited-competition route and to evidence reliable delivery of a defined works package.
