Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Nuclear Waste Services Limited involved a contract titled "APM Charterships", focusing on the provision of professional body chartership services through the Association for Project Management (APM). The process falls under the services industry category, particularly specialising in personal development training services. Located in Calderbridge, Seascale, the buyer proceeded with this as a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The procurement is already in the award stage, having been completed, with the contract signed on 16th January 2026. The contract period spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030, with a contract value of £120,000 gross.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in professional development and training services, particularly those that can provide chartership through established bodies like APM. The project opens doors for suppliers capable of delivering high-quality personal development training to sectors associated with nuclear services. Although the procurement process didn't entertain competition, firms looking to build similar capabilities can observe this as a model and explore future opportunities to partner with organisations focusing on enhancing professional qualifications and personnel training schemes. Companies within the United Kingdom, or those keen on establishing a presence there, would particularly find such engagements advantageous for growth and diversification.
