Scope, procedure and submissions

Id: C30896
Status: complete
Procurement Method: direct
Procurement Method Details: Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen: As part of the UK’s nuclear decommissioning programme, Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) will begin taking ownership of assets and the responsibility for the Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor (AGR) sites from EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited (EDF) commencing on 1st April 2026 for Hunterston B followed by Hinkley B in October 2026 and marks a key milestone in ensuring the continued safe, secure and cost-effective decommissioning of the UK’s nuclear legacy. NRS is committed to transparency and collaboration throughout this transfer process, working closely with EDF, regulators and stakeholders to deliver a seamless transfer whilst maintaining the highest standards of regulatory, safety and environmental compliance. In line with this commitment, NRS placed a direct award in accordance with Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 and wishes to advise that the EDF contract with Nuvia Limited, as detailed in this notice, was being novated to Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) as part of the AGR site transfer process. This is a direct award for the purposes of Procurement Act 2023 and is pursuant to Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023 NRS considered Paragraph 6 applies as the services provided by Nuvia Limited are critical to the ongoing operation of Hinkley B and it would create significant technical difficulties and unacceptable regulatory risks to NRS for another supplier to supply the services at this time. Following completion of this novated contract, all future requirements will be progressed through NRS’s established procurement processes and in continued compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23). Nuvia Limited is neither an excluded or excludable supplier. ** Please note ** This is a framework and will be called off as and when required.
