Summary of the contracting process

Great British Energy – Nuclear bought national communications and stakeholder engagement services from an agency. The work supports the organisation’s national communications activity, including stakeholder events and communications support for additional, previously unplanned workload. It is a services requirement covering business and management consultancy and related services. Delivery is across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West and the East and West of England regions. The buying organisation is Great British Energy – Nuclear, a public body based in London. The requirement was arranged through the Communications Marketplace dynamic purchasing system.

The procurement has been awarded and the contracts are active. It used a limited procedure through the Communications Marketplace dynamic purchasing system, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Six bids were received, and price was the stated award criterion. Two active contracts were signed on 20 November 2025: one with Grayling Communications Limited for £600,000 and one with 600000 for £1,350,000. The recorded contract period is 1,080 days, with an option for Great British Energy – Nuclear to extend the contract by up to 12 months. The contract with 600000 was later amended to increase its value by 50%, because additional stakeholder events and communications support were required.

This procurement demonstrates demand for a communications and engagement agency able to support a national public-sector organisation across England. Relevant suppliers would need to provide strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, event communications and responsive support for unplanned increases in workload. The requirement is suited to agencies with the capacity to operate nationally, manage multiple communications demands and maintain continuity for an existing client. The selected route was a dynamic purchasing system, so experience of working through public-sector purchasing arrangements would be useful. Price was the stated evaluation basis, making competitive cost control important alongside the ability to deliver reliable communications support at national scale.
