This tender is divided into two work packages: one for a Midlands-wide siting study for potential nuclear sites, with a budget of £65,000, and another for a Midlands-wide nuclear skills study, with a budget of £35,000. The procurement is in the Tender stage, with the tender period closing on the 2nd of September 2024 and the contracts starting on the 16th of September 2024, running until the 31st of March 2025. The procurement method is via competitive quotation (below threshold) and is particularly focused on services within the industry categories of nuclear fuels, analysis services, site investigation, and environmental engineering consultancy services.

The tender provides an excellent business growth opportunity for consultancies specialising in nuclear energy, environmental engineering, and skills development within the energy sector.
