Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, specifically its Dounreay operation, procured NEBOSH training services. The requirement is staff training leading to NEBOSH-related learning and development, supporting the organisation’s workforce in a nuclear restoration environment. The procurement covers one service requirement rather than separate goods or construction works. Delivery is associated with Dounreay in Scotland, with the buyer headquartered at Hinton House, Birchwood Park Avenue, Risley, Warrington. The relevant business category is staff training services, including providers able to design, organise and deliver NEBOSH training for an organisational workforce. The buyer is a sub-central public authority, and the selected supplier is Safety Zone Scotland Ltd, an SME based in Inverness. This is therefore most relevant to training providers with NEBOSH delivery capability and experience serving employers in technically regulated environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competitive procedure. One lot was completed, with the contract awarded to Safety Zone Scotland Ltd. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026. Its term runs from 26 October 2026 to 5 March 2027. The contract value is £29,000 excluding VAT, or £34,800 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route rather than an open procedure. The published outcome identifies the award as active and the contract as active. This outcome records the buyer’s selected supplier and the agreed commercial scale for the NEBOSH training requirement. The process was below the applicable threshold and used a single completed lot covering the training services.

This procurement is useful market evidence for training organisations that deliver NEBOSH programmes to employers, particularly those working with safety-critical, industrial or highly regulated workforces. A credible competitor would need trainers and course infrastructure capable of delivering staff training to the buyer’s required standard, together with the organisational capacity to support delivery across a defined five-month service period. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a specialist provider rather than necessarily requiring a large national training business. Providers with relevant NEBOSH expertise, dependable course administration and experience working with organisations involved in nuclear restoration or comparable regulated environments would be well placed when this buyer next reviews a similar requirement. The opportunity also demonstrates demand for focused professional training services from Nuclear Restoration Services Limited.
