UK Nuclear Value Chain Assessment for SMR Programme Delivery
What is being bought
A robust, evidence-based framework that provides a high-level, quantitative analysis of the UK's supply chain for SMR projects, including UK potential to supply components or areas for international dependency.; This includes an assessment framework that provides an evidence-based assessment and supporting materials that: Consider a defined list of critical components required for the development of the GBE-N SMR project. These can include defined as, but not limited to, most critical to operation or national security. Provides a robust assessment of current UK supply chain capabilities to supply these critical components, or the potential ability of the UK to become market leaders. Consider international market dynamics, identifies potential UK sourcing dependencies, geopolitical risks, and supply chain vulnerabilities for critical components.

Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security (79000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 79 | 13,742 | 4 median · 30.9 average (5,805 of 13,742 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (6,511 of 13,742 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 8 | 1 median · 2.7 average (7 of 8 with a bid count) | 1 average (7 of 8 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Price-outcome signal
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
