Why this procedure was chosen
• The pre-commercial research and development (R&D) nature of the requirement. • The uncertain and iterative scope of work. • The presence of existing NRS Dounreay prototyping equipment already fully assembled at the Contractor’s premises from prior trials. • The disproportionate cost, time and risk associated with remobilisation or re-competition.
