## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Great British Energy - Nuclear, a sub-central government entity located in London, focuses on "Early Works - Earthworks". This project, currently in the planning stage, involves critical ground-related enabling activities for a construction site, including species relocation, remediation, site clearance, and flood defence works. The package, estimated to be valued between £80m and £150m, aims to establish the groundwork for safe access and preparation for subsequent construction phases. The procedure is competitively flexible, falling under the works category and is scheduled to start in April 2029, with significant dates, including a future notice update on 1st December 2027. The delivery is intended for the UK, confirming the strategic importance of the location.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in construction, civil engineering, and environmental management. Businesses skilled in providing construction machinery, architectural, engineering, and inspection services are ideally positioned to compete. This procurement process, which continues to uphold high-value thresholds, offers a substantial chance for businesses seeking to expand their portfolio in public infrastructure projects. The long-term contract period, extending up to 2033, along with the option for renewal, ensures potential steady business growth for successful tenderers.

## Notice

This package encompasses key ground-related enabling activities required to prepare the site for construction. It includes Species relocation works, remediation works, site clearance & flood defence works. Activities may also cover site haul roads to support bulk earth works. These works establish correct ground levels, and create safe access routes for subsequent phases. By completing these early earthworks, the project de-risks later civil and structural activities and enables a smooth transition into the main construction programme. Value range: PS80m-PS150m
