## Summary

International Nuclear Services Limited intends to procure global port agency services. The work is classified as port and forwarding agency services, port operation services and port management services. The procurement is presented as one service package, intended to support the organisation’s port-related activity worldwide. Suppliers would need to provide port agency and operational or management services across an international scope. The buyer is International Nuclear Services Limited, based in Warrington. The planned contract period covers four years, from May 2027 to May 2031. This is a planning-stage procurement: the buyer has signalled its intention to buy these services, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The current activity is preliminary market engagement, inviting interested businesses to respond to a request for information through the Atamis portal.

The process is at planning stage, before a tender invitation. International Nuclear Services Limited is undertaking preliminary market engagement through a request for information, with responses expected by 2 November 2026. The buyer has indicated an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The estimated procurement value is £2 million excluding VAT, or £2.4 million including VAT. It is a single-lot service contract, with an intended term from 10 May 2027 to 9 May 2031. The stated engagement is intended to inform the buyer about the market for global port agency services. The package is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award basis or supplier eligibility conditions are set out at this planning stage; businesses should treat the dates and contract arrangements as indicative rather than a tender deadline or final specification.

This early engagement may suit port agency businesses with international reach and the ability to coordinate port operations and management across multiple locations. Suppliers whose services combine forwarding and agency support with port operational or management expertise are aligned with the stated scope. The buyer has explicitly indicated that the package is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller firms may wish to contribute market knowledge as well as larger established operators. Responding to the request for information gives businesses a route to describe their capabilities and help the buyer understand what the market can provide before the formal competition. The stated contract term points to a sustained service requirement rather than a short assignment. No specific accreditation, technical standard, capacity threshold or experience requirement has yet been described.
