## Summary

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited intends to commission an external consultant for the D1204 Pond Project, Phase 1. The requirement is to develop the existing concept design into a scheme design and then a detailed design. This is a professional engineering design services commission covering mechanical and electrical installations for the project. The work is associated with the D1204 Pond project and will support the next stage of its design development. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited is the buying organisation, based in Warrington. The requirement is classified as services, specifically engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations in buildings (CPV 71321000). The procurement is a single planned lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Nuclear Restoration Services Limited has announced its intention to procure the design services, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use an open procedure, with tenders submitted electronically through the Atamis portal. The estimated value is £1,500,000 excluding VAT, or £1,800,000 including VAT. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 23 September 2026. Its anticipated tender closing date is 4 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with enquiries expected to close on 19 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The expected award decision date is 14 December 2026. The anticipated contract period runs from 14 January 2027 to 17 January 2029.

This will suit engineering consultancies able to take an existing concept design through scheme design and detailed design for a mechanical and electrical installation project. Firms should be prepared to provide coordinated design consultancy rather than construction, supply or routine maintenance services. The scale and technical nature of the requirement may suit established specialist consultancies as well as capable SMEs with the necessary design resources, project controls and ability to manage a substantial public-sector commission. The buyer has indicated that the future procurement will use an open procedure and electronic tendering, giving interested businesses time to monitor the expected competition and prepare. Relevant organisations should assess their mechanical and electrical building-services design capability, experience developing concept designs, and capacity to support a multi-year project.
