Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority and Civil Nuclear Constabulary commissioned a design study for a new standby generator at Griffin Park. This is engineering consultancy work focused on assessing the design of standby power provision at the site, rather than supply or installation of a generator. The procurement is classified as consultative engineering and construction services. The delivery location is in the North West of England. The requirement is relevant to engineering consultancies with experience in generator systems, standby power design and technical studies for operational facilities, particularly those able to work with public-sector or safety-sensitive organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition, below the applicable threshold, through a framework agreement. Avrenim Group was selected on 12 October 2026 for the single lot. The award is valued at £32,500 excluding VAT (£39,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated requirement is a design study for a new standby generator at Griffin Park; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded. The procurement was conducted by the Civil Nuclear Police Authority and Civil Nuclear Constabulary.

For engineering consultancies, this award demonstrates demand from the Civil Nuclear Police Authority and Civil Nuclear Constabulary for specialist design advice on standby generation at Griffin Park. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate generator and standby-power engineering expertise, the ability to assess requirements and develop a sound design study, and capacity to deliver a focused technical assignment for a policing organisation operating in the civil nuclear sector. The award went to an SME, showing that this kind of consultancy work can be delivered by a smaller supplier. Experience working in operational or safety-sensitive environments would help a supplier show it can understand site constraints and produce practical recommendations suited to the buyer’s needs.
