UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) commissioned residues disposition characterisation services as a call-off from its strategy framework. This is a specialist research and development and related consultancy requirement, focused on characterising residues to inform their disposition. The procurement is a single lot and is managed by the NDA. The contract’s stated deliverables must follow the agreed specification, timelines and costings. The work relates to the NDA’s nuclear decommissioning responsibilities; no delivery location is identified in the procurement details. The requirement also includes regular project reporting, change control requiring NDA approval before changes or additional spending, and quarterly social value reporting, including evidence of action on inequality in employment, skills and pay within the contract workforce.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to TÜV SÜD Ltd through a selective, below-threshold call-off under the NDA’s strategy framework; the call-off was not competitive. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 April 2027, with a maximum extent to 31 May 2027. Its value is £81,015 excluding VAT (£97,218 including VAT). The NDA may approve a six-week extension. The award is for services and covers one lot. The contract sets delivery against the specification, timelines and costings, monthly project updates showing costs and delivery, approval-based change control, and quarterly reporting on social value. The published procurement data does not state an award date separately.

For suppliers preparing for comparable NDA requirements, this award shows demand for specialist residues characterisation delivered through an established strategy framework. A credible provider would need relevant research and development or technical consultancy expertise, and the ability to complete work to a defined specification, schedule and cost plan. The buyer’s expectations also favour disciplined project controls: monthly updates that make progress, costs and delivery trackable, and formal approval before changes or additional expenditure. Suppliers should be able to report social value quarterly and evidence sustained action on employment, skills and pay inequality among the contract workforce. The single-lot call-off and selection under a framework point to the importance of framework access as well as technical capability. No particular accreditation, staff qualification or minimum capacity is stated.
