Successful Bidding in Nuclear Decommissioning

Successful Bidding in Nuclear Decommissioning

Maximise your chances of a successful bid

Innovation and efficiency are the key issues that need to be clearly demonstrated by any organisation looking to achieve bid wins in the next rounds of Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) clean up projects.

With several large scale decommissioning projects already in the final stages of negotiation, there will soon be competition to attract the highest quality bidding teams to deliver projects. All successful contractors must deliver sustained excellence in nuclear safety, industrial health and safety, security and the protection of the environment.

Can your bid team work together to meet client expectations?


We have designed a series of programmes specifically to meet the needs of teams made up from multiple partners involved in large scale construction and industrial projects with long term lifecycles.

Our programmes have a proven track-record with teams working on large-scale industrial and construction projects over the last 10 years, and have resulted in successful bidding outcomes for organisations such as Skanska, Carillion and BAM PPP.

Whether you are bidding for a PBO contract, or for an implementation project as a Tier Two supplier, our expertise can help your team create a cohesive framework to put forward innovative solutions that will deliver accelerated nuclear clean-up programmes, safely and cost-effectively.
