UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited bought specialist waste characterisation services for thorium waste materials. The requirement concerns the examination and characterisation of radioactive thorium waste, supporting the safe understanding, management and eventual disposal of those materials. It is a technical environmental and radioactive-waste service rather than a general waste collection requirement. The relevant service classification is radioactive waste disposal (CPV 90521300). The public-sector buyer is Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a specialist organisation responsible for nuclear restoration activity. The contract title identifies the requirement as D2670 Thorium Waste Characterisation Services. The information identifies the buyer and the waste type, with the service focused specifically on thorium waste materials and their characterisation.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to NSG Environmental Limited. The award is active. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a maximum extent date of 31 August 2027 and renewal linked to compensation events. Its value is £59,613.42 excluding VAT, or £71,536.10 including VAT. The contract is below threshold and active. The award concerns the thorium waste characterisation services described above; no competing tender evaluation was used because the route was a direct award without competition.

This award demonstrates demand from a nuclear restoration organisation for specialist services dealing with thorium waste materials. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need practical capability in radioactive-waste management, waste characterisation and the safe handling of thorium-bearing materials. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience of technically controlled work in the nuclear or radioactive-waste environment, including producing reliable characterisation outputs that can support waste management and disposal decisions. The relevant market is specialist rather than general environmental services: businesses whose expertise is limited to conventional waste collection or treatment are unlikely to fit this requirement. NSG Environmental Limited’s selection provides a clear example of the type of established specialist supplier operating in this field.
