## Summary

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) has recently awarded a contract for the Provision of an Independent Review of ONR's Security Assessment Principles. This procurement process falls under the services category and involves a review of ONR's regulatory framework for nuclear security. The tender involved a 2-stage procurement exercise, but only one lot was ultimately cancelled. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a total contract value of £104,000. The award was given to Templar Executives Limited, and the contract was signed on 31st March 2023.

This tender by ONR presents an opportunity for businesses in system quality assurance assessment and review services to engage with the regulatory framework for nuclear security. Companies experienced in providing independent evaluations and feedback on regulatory approaches are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) based in Bootle, UK, is the contracting authority overseeing this opportunity. The business growth potential lies in offering expertise in evaluating and improving security assessment principles to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

## Notice

In 2017 ONR published Security Assessment Principles (SyAPs) as the world's first outcome-focussed regulatory framework for nuclear security, mirroring the well-established Safety Assessment Principles (SAPs). The move to outcome focussed regulation of security was a significant change and has proved to be a substantial challenge for industry. ONR has made a commitment to industry to review SyAPs and their implementation as part of our assurance and commitment to continuous improvement. We would therefore benefit from independent evaluation of our approach, eliciting feedback on good practices to continue as well as potential areas for improvement.
