Contract opportunities for research organisations
We have launched the process to re-compete its Direct Research Portfolio (DRP) framework contracts.
Direct research portfolio
The DRP is an important, high-profile part of our research and development strategy and commissions work across the supply chain to:
- inform the development of our strategy
- find innovative solutions for use across multiple sites
- maintain and develop vital technical skills
Three Direct Research Portfolio framework contracts are available either to individual organisations or consortia. The contracts focus on research in the following areas:
- Lot A: university interactions
- Lot B: integrated waste management and site decommissioning and remediation
- Lot C: spent fuel and nuclear materials
Contracts for the Direct Research Portfolio were last awarded in 2012.
We held a supplier information day in September 2015. The next phase of the process has now started. We have issued the full tender documentation to the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
