MOX Services Framework
Framework Description
The MOX Services Framework is a planned Nuclear Decommissioning Authority procurement for plant design services, described in its notice as a DMOX services framework focused on plant design. It supports the design work needed within the NDA's decommissioning programme. The opportunity is at the pre-tender stage and is listed on Find a Tender under procurement reference ocds-h6vhtk-0510e0, where updates and the tender notice will appear.
Context & Use Case
The NDA would use the framework to bring in plant design expertise for its decommissioning programme, where design work shapes how facilities are modified and safely taken down. Setting up a framework lets the authority commission design packages as the programme develops, rather than tendering each one, and keeps a consistent group of design teams involved.
Scope of Services
Plant design services Design support for decommissioning Technical engineering and design consultancy

Who Can Apply
Suits engineering design consultancies with nuclear plant design experience, nuclear-grade quality management and teams who can work within NDA governance. As the procurement has not yet opened for bids, any qualified firm can prepare to compete.
Buyer Benefits
Nuclear plant design demands specialist knowledge that few firms hold, so the NDA values a pre-assessed pool it can call on without restarting procurement each time. A framework also gives continuity, keeping design teams familiar with the authority's facilities and safety requirements across successive packages.
Next Steps
Follow procurement ocds-h6vhtk-0510e0 on Find a Tender so you see the tender notice as soon as it is issued. Gather case studies of nuclear plant design, especially decommissioning work, and make sure quality accreditations and team CVs are current. If the NDA runs market engagement, take part to understand the size and shape of the design packages.
How Athena Can Help
Nuclear design frameworks attract a small field of capable firms, so your bid has to show real depth. Athena can help you plan early with bid planning for public contracts, then build your technical narrative and case studies with our specialist bid writers.
We can also identify other nuclear decommissioning frameworks that are open or due to open through our framework search and registration, so your design capability reaches the right buyers.
