## Summary

The National Nuclear Laboratory, through the CTM Portal for the NDA Shared Services Alliance, has successfully completed the procurement process for an Analytical Services Framework Agreement. This tender, classified under analysis services (CPV code: 71620000), aims to establish a framework with multiple suppliers capable of providing a range of analytical support services for both radioactive and non-radioactive materials. The contract period spans from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2025, following an open procurement method with the tender period closing on 8th January 2021. Key suppliers awarded the contract include Cavendish Nuclear Ltd, Jacobs Clean Energy Ltd, and Lucideon Limited, highlighting the engagement of established players in the nuclear sector.

This framework agreement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in analytical services, particularly those equipped to handle the complexities of the nuclear fuel cycle and relevant environmental materials. Companies focusing on radiochemical, chemical, and physical analyses, or those providing technical consultancy and waste analysis services, would find themselves well-positioned to compete. As the framework allows for ongoing service provision until 2025, businesses can anticipate sustained demand, enabling growth and collaboration within this vital industry sector.
