Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited purchased and deployed a Seracam camera to support AFC containment entries. The requirement was for camera equipment, rather than a broader imaging service, and was classified as cameras. Nuclear Restoration Services is the buying organisation. The process covers a single lot for the camera purchase and deployment. The supplier selected was Serac Imaging Systems Ltd, based in London. The stated purpose is to support containment entries; no more specific delivery location or technical use is described in the procurement information.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Nuclear Restoration Services awarded the single-lot contract to Serac Imaging Systems Ltd through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award date and contract signature date were 27 September 2026. The contract runs from 27 September to 18 December 2026. Its value is £167,000 excluding VAT, or £200,400 including VAT. The award covers the purchase of the camera; the available award information does not provide a separate award value. No evaluation criteria are set out, consistent with the stated route of proceeding without competition.

This award shows demand from Nuclear Restoration Services for specialist camera equipment that can support AFC containment entries, with deployment included in the requirement. A credible supplier for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide suitable camera technology and demonstrate that it can be deployed for this operational setting. Experience supplying equipment for work in containment environments, and the ability to support installation or deployment, would be relevant to establishing credibility. The selected supplier, Serac Imaging Systems Ltd, is a large company, indicating that the buyer selected an established supplier for this purchase. The requirement is specific to camera supply and deployment for containment-entry support, rather than general photography or broad imaging services.
