## Summary

The Health & Safety Executive is seeking to procure services for a technical review and assessment related to the criticality safety of fuel storage for the UK HPR1000 project. This award, amounting to £65,437.53, was issued on 30 June 2020, with the contract expected to run from 6 July 2020 until 1 April 2021. The procurement method employed was a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and it belongs to the research and development consultancy services category. The tender was closed on 26 May 2020.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in research and development, particularly those specialising in safety assessments and modelling within the nuclear industry. Companies with expertise in technical consulting and criticality safety assessments would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders like this, allowing for potential business growth in a highly regulated sector. The successful contractor in this instance was Frazer-Nash Consultancy Ltd, highlighting the competitive landscape in which established consultancy firms can thrive.

## Notice

This will involve undertaking independent criticality modelling.
