## Summary

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority procured civil-defence strategic and project support services through a call-off from its internal framework. The requirement covers research, research consultancy, and related consultancy services supporting civil-defence strategy and projects. The buyer is a UK central government public authority based in Cumbria. The awarded supplier, TUV SUD Ltd, is a large organisation headquartered in Glasgow. The work is therefore relevant to consultancies and technical advisory businesses with experience in research-led strategic support, project support, and the delivery of structured consultancy outputs for a public-sector or nuclear-related client.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TUV SUD Ltd on 11 August 2026 under a selective procedure using a framework award, without reopening competition. There was one completed lot. The award and signed contract are active. The contract value is £219,715 excluding VAT, or £263,658 including VAT. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 11 August 2027, with an approved optional three-month extension available to 11 November 2027. Evaluation took place through the framework call-off route; the record identifies the procurement as non-competitive at this stage. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to provide civil-defence strategic and project support through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to translate research and consultancy expertise into practical strategic advice, project support and deliverables aligned with a detailed specification. The buyer’s performance expectations include delivering outputs to agreed timelines and costings, providing regular monthly reporting on costs and delivery, and following formal change control before additional work or spending is undertaken. Suppliers would also need to evidence social value throughout delivery, including actions addressing inequality in employment, skills and pay across the contract workforce. These requirements favour established teams with disciplined project governance, clear reporting and relevant public-sector consultancy experience.
