## Summary

The procurement process for the "IT Managed Services Bridging Contract 2025-2028" was executed by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), with headquarters located at Hinton House, Birchwood Park Avenue, Warrington. This contract falls under the Information technology services industry, classified with CPV code 72222300. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender stage is now complete with the award status active, having been awarded to Sopra Steria Limited on 30th June 2025. The contract period spans from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2028, and it has a total value amounting to £17,038,000. While the services are intended for delivery across a broad geographic region, including parts of the United Kingdom, Europe, and the British Overseas Territories, the primary address is WA3 6GR.

This tender opens up substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large firms specialising in IT managed services. Given the scale and comprehensive nature of the procurement requirement, it may not be well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The involvement of sophisticated IT firms that can leverage existing framework agreements and provide seamless transition and continuity of services for the NDA group could find considerable benefits over the contract period. This tender could serve as a strategic initiative for further engagement in governmental IT procurement exercises that the NDA is planning to roll out in the foreseeable future.

## Notice

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.
