Summary of the contracting process

Great British Energy - Nuclear commissioned specialist engineering and technical advisory services to support its work in the nuclear sector. The requirement covers access to a broad range of technical expertise, including strategic technical input and advice aligned with the organisation’s needs and objectives. The work is associated with the nuclear lot of the Energy and Net Zero Professional Services framework. The buyer is Great British Energy - Nuclear, based in Warrington. The delivery location is identified as the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and is active, with a stated value of £9.6 million. The procurement was run as a limited framework call-off under the Energy and Net Zero Professional Services framework, using its nuclear lot. Four bids were recorded. The published evaluation criteria assign 70% to technical quality, 10% to social value and 20% to commercial quality, with a further 20% stated for price. The lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active; the available information does not explain this discrepancy. The contract includes two optional one-year extensions.

For engineering and technical consultancies, this award shows that Great British Energy - Nuclear buys broad specialist advice for its nuclear-sector activities, including strategic input. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate a wide range of relevant technical expertise and the ability to advise on the buyer’s requirements and objectives. The evaluation placed substantial weight on technical quality, alongside social value and commercial considerations, with price also listed as a criterion. The call-off was made through the nuclear lot of the Energy and Net Zero Professional Services framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need a route to compete through that framework. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that the buyer selected an established provider for this requirement; the procurement does not state specific accreditations or minimum capacity thresholds.
