UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited intends to procure works to design, build, install and commission switchboards serving the ponds services. The project covers new low-voltage switchboards and associated cabling infrastructure, including rerouting existing electrical supplies. The contractor will undertake detailed design, procurement, installation, testing and commissioning; Nuclear Restoration Services will retain the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor responsibilities. This is electrical installation work at the buyer’s ponds facilities. The scope combines electrical design and supply with site installation and commissioning, so it is relevant to contractors able to deliver the full sequence rather than supply switchboards alone.

This procurement is at planning stage and is not an invitation to tender. The buyer is conducting preliminary market engagement through a request for information, with responses expected by 27 October 2026. A subsequent notice is expected by 9 November 2026. The buyer’s stated estimated value is £1.6 million excluding VAT (£2 million including VAT). The planned contract period is 29 January 2027 to 28 January 2028. The work is arranged as one lot, marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award method or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage; the buyer is seeking market information before taking the procurement forward.

The requirement is likely to suit electrical contractors with the capability to design and deliver low-voltage switchboard systems, procure equipment, reroute existing supplies, install associated cabling, and carry out testing and commissioning. Suppliers should be prepared to take responsibility for the complete delivery chain while working within a project where the buyer retains the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor roles. The scope may be relevant to firms experienced in electrical infrastructure at complex operational sites, particularly those able to coordinate design and installation around existing supplies. The buyer has identified the work and is seeking market input ahead of procurement, giving capable suppliers an opportunity to inform their preparation and assess whether their delivery experience matches the requirement. No specific accreditation or technical standard is identified in the stated scope.
