The tender falls under the classification of research and development services and consultancy, with an estimated value of £50,000 and a minimum value of £25,000. The procurement method is open, and interested suppliers must submit their bids by 22 April 2022. The main contract period is set to commence on 18 May 2022 and conclude on 18 October 2022. The project is located in London, UK, and caters to various economic operators, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the fields of nuclear engineering and consultancy to engage with the National Audit Office and leverage their expertise in the procurement process. Companies possessing academic qualifications or experience in nuclear decommissioning, alongside those offering engineering consultancy services, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. The focus on technical assessments and project cost evaluations means that businesses with a proven track record in these domains are strongly encouraged to participate, potentially contributing to their growth in the public sector market. ## Notice The National Audit Office's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority financial audit team has identified the need for expert support across several areas in order to ensure that our audit work is sufficiently robust and based on a solid technical understanding. There are two requirements we are looking to fulfil: Firstly, we seek an Academic with expertise in nuclear power/decommissioning, to obtain a view on the technical/scientific judgements arrived at (Lot 1). Secondly, we seek a Nuclear Consultant/Engineer, who is able to provide a view on both the technical elements of work, plus the actual project costs likely to be arrived at from doing so (Lot 2). We will consider bids from suppliers who are able to meet one or both requirements. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61c51b1f-ecda-4afb-b164-677df4ea9601 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 22 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 May 2022 - 18 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE | | Locality | VICTORIA | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 9SP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Pimlico North | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71318000 - Advisory and consultative engineering services - 71330000 - Miscellaneous engineering services - 71335000 - Engineering studies - 71350000 - Engineering-related scientific and technical services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services ## Release History - 31 Mar 2022 at 09:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61c51b1f-ecda-4afb-b164-677df4ea9601 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61c51b1f-ecda-4afb-b164-677df4ea9601 31st March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Nuclear-Science-and-Engineering-Expertise/6VR622887W Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
