## Summary

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a sub-central government public authority located in Warrington, conducted a direct procurement process for the "Characterisation of Berkeley Celite and Miscellaneous Contaminated Items." The procurement focused on laboratory services, integral to the industry category of services, and was executed without competition as it fell below the threshold. The contract was awarded to Socotec, a large supplier based in Didcot. This process is now complete, with the contract actively running from 14th November 2025 to 13th November 2026. The procurement was conducted under the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory and environmental services, particularly those equipped with the necessary expertise to handle contaminated materials. Given the nature of the project, companies with capabilities in environmental analysis and remediation can find lucrative prospects. Large companies, similar to the awarded supplier Socotec, may have a competitive edge; however, the absence of competition in this procurement indicates potential future opportunities for various sizes of firms looking to enter this niche market.
