## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has recently concluded the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) regulatory capability project, which held a contract value of £5,000,000. This project was initiated to provide support for BEIS' Advanced Nuclear Reactor innovation strategy, with a focus on developing a new regulatory framework for Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs). The tender period ended on 11 May 2018, and the awarded contract is effective from the same date, running until 31 March 2020. The service falls under the 'Design and execution of research and development' category, reflecting its technical nature and strategic importance within the nuclear energy sector located in the United Kingdom.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in research and development, particularly those with expertise in nuclear regulations and safety protocols. Companies that specialise in engineering services, regulatory affairs, and safety compliance may find this tender aligns well with their capabilities. Participation in similar future tenders can bolster growth by establishing firms as key contributors to advanced safety frameworks within the burgeoning nuclear industry.

## Notice

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has requested that the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) provide support to BEIS' Advanced Nuclear Reactor innovation strategy. The ONR (in conjunction with the EA) will support a range of tasks that BEIS will be undertaking as part of a research and development programme for Advanced Modular Reactors (AMR) announced by BEIS on 07/12/2017. As part of this project the BEIS has approached the ONR to support BEIS' AMR project including policy development, competition design and delivery in accordance with an agreed technical specification. In order to develop the necessary safety and security protections to regulate AMRs the ONR will need to develop the necessary capacity to do this. The new regulatory framework developed by ONR must be fit-for-purpose for AMRs and not just a modification of existing regulation. See further for more information.
