## Summary

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, is overseeing the transition of Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor (AGR) sites from EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited as part of the UK's nuclear decommissioning programme. The focus for spring 2026 is on Hunterston B. The procurement process is at the award stage, with a contract titled "Provision of Site Delivery, Engineering Services & Boiler Asset Integrity Management Segment" confirmed. The direct award method was chosen due to the critical nature of services provided by Altrad Babcock Limited, situated in Warrington as well. The timeline for the contract extends from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a possible one-year extension, aligning with the Procurement Act 2023.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering services, particularly those with experience in nuclear site management. Large-scale enterprises like Altrad Babcock Limited, already engaged as the supplier, demonstrate the demand for robust operational capabilities to manage the delivery and engineering services of such complex sites. Future opportunities under NRS’s procurement processes will be available, adhering to stringent regulatory, safety, and environmental standards, making it ideal for businesses that can meet high compliance and quality benchmarks in technical service provision. This sector, given its complexity and regulatory demands, provides avenues for growth through long-term collaboration and specialised service delivery.

### Procurement Information

As part of the UK's nuclear decommissioning programme, Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) will begin taking ownership of assets and the responsibility for the Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor (AGR) sites from EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited (EDF). This transition, starting with Hunterston B in spring 2026, marks a key milestone in ensuring the continued safe, secure and cost-effective decommissioning of the UK's nuclear legacy. NRS is committed to transparency and collaboration throughout this transfer process, working closely with EDF, regulators and stakeholders to deliver a seamless transfer whilst maintaining the highest standards of regulatory, safety and environmental compliance. In line with this commitment, NRS therefore intends to make a direct award in accordance with Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 and wishes to advise that the existing EDF contract with Altrad Babcock Limited, as detailed in this notice, is being novated to Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) as part of the AGR site transfer process. This is a direct award for the purposes of Procurement Act 2023 and is being made pursuant to Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023 NRS considers Paragraph 6 applies as the services provided by Altrad Babcock Limited are critical to the ongoing operation of Hunterston B and it would create significant technical difficulties and unacceptable regulatory risks to NRS for another supplier to supply the provision of Site Delivery, Engineering Services & Boiler Asset Integrity Management Segment at this time. Following completion of this novated contract, all future requirements will be progressed through NRS's established procurement processes and in continued compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23). Altrad Babcock Limited is neither an excluded or excludable supplier. A Contract Award Notice and Contract Details Notice will follow in accordance with Procurement Act 2023. ** Please Note ** This is a framework and will be called off as and when required.
