Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited, a key player in the UK's nuclear industry, has completed a procurement process for "TOM Support" involving business and management consultancy services. This tender, valued at £59,500, utilised a direct procurement method through a single tender action below the threshold. The process, initiated on a tender basis, progressed to the award stage with PA Consulting Services Limited being selected as the supplier. Located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, the service contract commenced on 19th September 2025 and concluded on 31st October 2025. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically in business and management consultancy and related services.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for business growth, particularly for consultancy firms specialising in business and management services. While the procurement was not specifically aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), it demonstrates potential for firms experienced in consultancy to engage in public sector projects and possibly expand their portfolio with other government agencies. The straightforward procurement process used here underscores the importance of being prepared for direct tender opportunities that can provide substantial business development prospects within the public sector.
