UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, through its Dounreay site, purchased a Ford Ranger for an infrastructure project. This is a motor vehicle supply requirement, rather than a vehicle maintenance or infrastructure construction contract. The vehicle was for use by the buyer’s infrastructure project; no further specification or delivery location is described in the procurement information. The buyer is a public authority responsible for nuclear restoration services. The procurement covered a single vehicle supply lot. For suppliers, the core area of relevance is the provision of Ford Ranger vehicles to support infrastructure work at Dounreay, rather than a broad fleet or multi-vehicle requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Blargoans Limited, a supplier based in Dunnet. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited used a below-threshold limited competition procedure. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 21 to 22 September 2026. Its value is £46,721.96 excluding VAT, or £56,066.35 including VAT. The process consisted of one lot, for which the selected supplier is Blargoans Limited. No award criteria or detailed evaluation basis are recorded in the procurement information, so the specific factors behind the selection cannot be stated. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows demand from Nuclear Restoration Services’ Dounreay site for a Ford Ranger to support infrastructure activity, with a single-vehicle requirement delivered through limited competition. Suppliers best placed to compete when this buyer next needs the same type of vehicle will be able to source and supply the specified Ford Ranger, meet the buyer’s operational requirements for infrastructure use, and respond effectively to a limited competition. A vehicle supplier with relevant dealership or supply-chain access and the capacity to fulfil a focused, one-vehicle order would be better matched than a business whose offer is limited to construction works or vehicle servicing. Blargoans Limited’s selection, as an SME, demonstrates that a smaller supplier was able to fulfil this requirement.
