## Summary

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority commissioned a quality assurance and quality control strategy for its PuIP work. This is specialist consultancy and research and development support, rather than the supply of equipment or construction. The requirement was placed as a call-off from the Authority’s Strategy Framework. The Authority is based in Cumbria, but the procurement does not identify a separate delivery location. The title and description identify the work as “PuIP QA - QC Strategy” but do not expand the PuIP abbreviation. Suppliers working on quality assurance and quality control strategy development, particularly for public-sector programmes, are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to TÜV SÜD Ltd; the resulting contract is active. It was a competitive, selective call-off under an existing framework, described as below threshold. The award date is not stated; the contract was signed on 18 September 2026. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 April 2027, with a maximum extent to 20 June 2027 subject to Authority approval for renewal. Its value is £89,025 excluding VAT and £106,830 including VAT. There was one lot. Contract performance is measured through delivery against the specification, timelines and costings; monthly progress and cost updates; prior Authority approval for changes or additional spend; and quarterly social-value reporting.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a focused quality assurance and quality control strategy consultancy delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to develop a strategy aligned with a defined specification and manage delivery against agreed timelines and costings. The contract also places weight on disciplined project control: regular monthly progress and cost reporting, and a change process that secures the Authority’s approval before changes or additional spend. Suppliers should be able to evidence social value throughout delivery, including action on inequality in employment, skills and pay in the contract workforce, with quarterly reporting. This is a specialist advisory requirement, so relevant quality strategy expertise and the capacity to provide ongoing project oversight and reporting are central to competing effectively.
