## Summary

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has completed the procurement process for an IT Javelin Bridging contract through a direct award. The contract covers the period from 17th February 2025 to 16th February 2028, with a total value amounting to £46,200,000. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, under the industry classification of IT services, including consulting, software development, internet, and support. The procurement was essential to provide continuity of existing services while the NDA reviews its requirements for an upcoming group-wide procurement exercise. The contracting process reached the award stage on 16th February 2025, with the main location being Hemel Hempstead, UK, and services extending to multiple regions, including the British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms in the IT sector, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive consulting and software development services. Large-scale businesses, like the awarded supplier Sopra Steria Limited, are well-positioned to benefit from this contract given the extensive requirements and the high-value nature of the contract. The bridging contract also implies potential future opportunities for established IT service providers to engage with the NDA in subsequent procurement exercises as they plan a broader tender in the coming period. The focus on continuity and expansion of IT services ensures that suitable enterprises can integrate into this government-led initiative, fostering potential growth and long-term partnerships within the public sector.

## Notice

There have been changes to the contract since the award, and the total value has now increased to PS46,200,000.00. This bridging contract is to provide the NDA group continuity of existing services and provide sufficient time to enable the NDA to conduct a group wide procurement exercise. The NDA is currently reviewing its requirements and intends to publish a group wide tender in the near future.
