Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited is buying a professional training service: a Human and Organisational Performance Practitioner Training Programme. The programme is intended to develop practitioner capability in understanding and improving how people and organisations perform, supporting safer and more effective work within a nuclear restoration setting. The requirement is classified as personal development training services. NRS is the public-sector buyer, with the procurement associated with its Dounreay operation. Delivery covers locations in Dumfries and Galloway, the Bristol area and Manchester, so relevant suppliers should be able to provide training across Scotland and England. The service is suitable for specialist learning and development providers, organisational performance consultancies and practitioners with experience designing and delivering structured human-performance training programmes.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. NRS used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. GRIT UK Ltd was selected as the supplier and holds the active contract. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026, runs from 21 September 2026 to 23 December 2026, and is valued at £110,000 excluding VAT (£132,000 including VAT). The requirement was organised as one lot. The published outcome identifies a single supplier and an active contract; the procurement information does not set out a scored evaluation basis because the contract was awarded directly. This is a completed award rather than an opportunity to submit a tender for the current programme.

This award signals demand from Nuclear Restoration Services for specialist human and organisational performance training connected with nuclear restoration. A credible future competitor would need subject-matter expertise in practitioner-level human performance, organisational performance improvement and the delivery of structured training programmes, rather than general classroom training alone. The work spans several UK locations, so providers should be able to deploy appropriately qualified trainers across Scotland and England and coordinate delivery for a geographically distributed workforce. Experience working in safety-critical, regulated or industrial environments would help a supplier demonstrate that its approach is suitable for NRS’s operating context. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a focused specialist provider can satisfy this type of requirement without the scale of a large training corporation.
