## Summary

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level, has finalised a procurement process for the "Provision of Physical Security Barriers & Associated Services" at the Hinkley Point B Site. The procurement, initiated through a tender process, involves a direct award of contract to Allen Fencing Limited, a large-scale supplier. The contract, valued at £360,000 gross, spans from 1st October 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a possibility of renewal for an additional year. It falls under the services industry category, specifically for repair and maintenance of security equipment, and is located in Warrington, UK. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with a future signature date set for 24th June 2026.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in security solutions and maintenance services, particularly those capable of managing significant projects within the nuclear sector. Given the technical complexities and regulatory prerequisites associated with the decommissioning of Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor sites, businesses with expertise in managing security infrastructure under stringent safety and regulatory conditions, like Allen Fencing Limited, are well-suited to compete in this environment. Firms looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector, especially in energy and security-related domains, would find this an ideal contract to bolster their market presence.

## Notice

Provision of Physical Security Barriers & Associated Services (AGR Unique Ref. 7 F/W) at Hinkley Point B Site.

### 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) commencing on 1st April 2026 for Hunterston B followed by Hinkley B in October 2026 and 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 Allen Fencing Ltd, 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 Allen Fencing Ltd are critical to the ongoing operation of Hinkley B and it would create significant technical difficulties and unacceptable regulatory risks to NRS for another supplier to supply the services 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). Allen Fencing is neither an excluded or excludable supplier. A Contract Award Notice and Contract Details Notice will follow in accordance with Procurement Act 2023.
