Summary of the contracting process

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) has completed a competitive procurement process to engage PA Consulting Services Limited for a project titled "Provision of a Review of ONR's Business Planning Processes". The contract, valued at £75,000, falls under the category of "Business and management consultancy and related services" (CPV: 79400000), and it is part of the broader effort to enhance ONR's strategic planning capabilities. The procurement was conducted through a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6187, specific to Lot 4 Finance. The process reached the award stage on 5th August 2025, with the consulting services running from 1st August to 28th November 2025, across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those adept in strategic planning and process optimisation. It suits small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given that the framework allows their participation. By participating in such tenders, firms can align themselves with government standards, expand their portfolio of public sector clients, and demonstrate their capabilities in delivering high-impact consultancy solutions. Businesses with expertise in finance and planning processes, and those familiar with working under framework agreements, will find themselves particularly well-suited to these kinds of opportunities.

Notice Description

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is conducting a competitive procurement exercise to appoint one Service Provider from suppliers approved under the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Framework RM6187, Lot 4 Finance. Award of contract shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the framework. We are seeking expert support to work in close partnership with our Finance and Planning team, to design and implement a refreshed business planning process.

The refreshed process should provide clearer strategic direction, enhance accountability, improve operational efficiency and establish a robust framework for developing a forward looking three-year business plan.
