The tender is active and is classified under the CPV code 71356000, which pertains to technical services. The submission period ends on 14 June 2022, and potential suppliers are invited to engage in this selective procurement process, which will follow a restricted procedure. There will be an engagement event on 18 May 2022, where interested parties can learn more about the procurement process. This project is divided into three lots, covering areas such as reactor core physics, civil engineering, and various specialist engineering services, with a total estimated value of £18,000,000. Bidders may submit for multiple lots, although a maximum of three lots can be awarded per supplier. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering, technical services, and nuclear safety analysis. Companies involved in fields such as civil engineering, cybersecurity, or radiological protection would find particularly relevant prospects, especially those with expertise needed for the outlined lots. The Office for Nuclear Regulation's framework aims to enhance safety and regulatory duties within the sector, making it an attractive opportunity for suppliers looking to expand their footprint in the nuclear services market. Suppliers interested in participating should prepare to showcase their capabilities and submit their registrations via the ONR Procurement Portal. ## Notice Provision of a framework of Specialist Service Providers to the Office for Nuclear Regulation across 3 Lots for : - Lot 1 : Reactor Core Physics and Fault Studies - Lot 2 : Civil Engineering and External Hazards - Lot 3 : Specialist Engineering and Technical Services within the disciplines of : 1.
