Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority bought research and related consultancy services to support the “Radical Reset” collaboration exercise under its NRTF support requirement. The work forms part of the C29663 Strategy Framework and is intended to provide specialist support to a collaboration exercise, rather than physical goods or construction. The buyer is the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a central government public authority responsible for the procurement. The awarded supplier is based in East Kilbride, Glasgow, while the source data does not identify a separate delivery location. The requirement was treated as a service and classified under CPV 73000000, covering research and development services and related consultancy services. It was arranged as a single completed lot.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority made the award to TUV SUD LTD on 8 September 2026, following a selective procedure using an award under the Strategy Framework; the call-off was non-competitive. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 9 April 2027. Its value is £179,259.50 excluding VAT and £215,111.40 including VAT. The procurement was above the relevant threshold. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one lot. Contract performance includes delivery against agreed timelines and costings, monthly project and cost reporting, quarterly social value reporting, prior approval for changes or additional spend, and reporting on actions addressing inequality in employment, skills and pay.

This award indicates demand from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority for specialist research and consultancy support connected with collaboration exercises and strategic change. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability to support a complex public-sector collaboration, develop and manage deliverables against agreed specifications, and control delivery against planned timelines and costings. Strong project governance is important: the requirement includes regular, clear reporting on progress, costs and delivery, with a defined change process requiring client approval before changes or additional spending. Competitors would also need to demonstrate practical social value delivery, including actions addressing inequality in employment, skills and pay, and the ability to evidence outcomes through structured reporting. The framework call-off route shows the relevance of framework access and experience working within formal public-sector controls.
