UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Great British Energy – Nuclear intends to appoint a financial adviser for its project and programme activities. The work covers financial optioneering, market assessment, specialist financial knowledge and a recommendation for the organisation’s preferred financing strategy. The adviser will assess private-sector funding, government funding and combinations of the two, with the aim of identifying an optimal approach. This is a financial and investment banking consultancy service, including financial management advice. Delivery is expected across the United Kingdom. The procurement is for services and is structured as a single requirement. Great British Energy – Nuclear is a public authority based in Warrington and is the organisation commissioning and using the advice. Market engagement covering this scope has already taken place.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It expects to use a selective competitive flexible procedure. The buyer’s indicative date for the next notice is 5 October 2026, with expressions of interest expected by 6 November 2026 and an award decision expected by 1 December 2026. The estimated value is £416,667 excluding VAT, or £500,000 including VAT. There is one planned lot. The anticipated contract period is 4 January to 30 July 2027, with a maximum extent to 31 December 2027. The buyer may renew the contract for an additional six months. Evaluation will include cost, with detailed weightings to be issued with the invitation to tender.

The planned work will suit established financial advisory, financial management consultancy and investment banking firms able to advise a public-sector nuclear organisation on major project and programme financing. Relevant suppliers should be able to compare private, government and blended funding models, assess market conditions, apply specialist financing knowledge and turn that analysis into a practical financing strategy recommendation. Experience of financial optioneering and investment or infrastructure-related funding would be directly relevant to the stated scope. The buyer has already undertaken market engagement on these requirements, so interested firms should use the planning period to review their capability, relevant case studies and proposed approach for a future competitive flexible procedure. The requirement is delivered in English and is intended for work across the United Kingdom.
