## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has awarded a contract titled "Environment Agency (EA) regulatory capability project." This project falls under the industry category of research and development services, with an award value of £2,000,000. The contract period is set to commence on 25th May 2018 and will run until 31st March 2020. The procurement process was initiated by BEIS to enhance the EA’s support for the nuclear innovation strategy, particularly concerning Advanced Modular Reactors (AMR). The tender period closed on 11th May 2018, marking a concluded phase of this procurement process.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the regulatory environment, nuclear energy, and safety management sectors. Companies with expertise in regulatory framework development, nuclear project support, and innovation strategy will find particularly conducive conditions to compete. Given the contract's focus on advanced technologies, businesses adept at research and development services would be well-positioned to align with the objectives of BEIS and the EA in delivering robust regulatory capabilities for AMRs.

## Notice

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has requested that the Environment Agency (EA) provide support to BEIS' nuclear innovation strategy. The EA (in conjunction with the ONR) will support a range of tasks that BEIS will be undertaking as part of a programme for Advanced Modular Reactors (AMR) announced by BEIS on 07/12/2017. As part of this project the BEIS has approached the EA to support BEIS' AMR project including policy development, competition design and delivery in accordance with an agreed technical specification. In order to develop the necessary safety and security protections to regulate AMRs the EA will need to develop the necessary capacity to do this. The new regulatory framework developed by EA must be fit-for-purpose for AMRs and not just a modification of existing regulation. See further for more information.
