Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a central government public authority located in Cumbria, UK, is planning a procurement process for "Bespoke Learning and Coaching Sessions" under the CCS Learning Framework 2.0. The procurement is categorised under personal development training services and targets delivery within the United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, a planned notice was published on 15th May 2026, with future notices expected by 1st December 2026. The tender involves a direct award method and is valued at £12,000,000 gross for the contract period starting 1st February 2027 and ending 31st January 2031. This procurement offers a significant investment into developmental services and highlights the strategic delay in aligning contract commencements with the framework's timelines.

This opportunity could greatly benefit businesses specialising in bespoke training and development as well as coaching services. Companies experienced in handling large-scale, government-structured frameworks, particularly those capable of providing personalised development programmes, will be well-suited to benefit from this procurement. With three suppliers designated within each Lot of the framework, only direct awards are applicable, emphasising the need for established relationships and proven expertise in similar government contracts. This tender represents a solid pathway for growth, particularly for businesses looking to expand their footprint within the public sector's training domain.
