Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured education and training services for the continued delivery and management of its existing higher-education and further-education programmes. The work covers learners already enrolled and is intended to support them through to successful qualification completion. The service includes programme delivery, learner support, assessment, quality assurance and associated administration for existing cohorts. It is a personal development training service (CPV 80570000), delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused on maintaining established education provision rather than creating a new programme, and covers the operational support needed to manage learners, learning activities and qualification outcomes across the existing provision.

This procurement has been completed and the contract is active. Sellafield Limited made a below-threshold direct award without competition under the light-touch regime to Gen II Engineering & Technology. The contract was signed and started on 17 September 2026, running to 31 August 2029. Its value is £309,680.74 excluding VAT, or £371,616.89 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot and names Gen II Engineering & Technology as the selected supplier. Evaluation was not competitive: the award route was a direct award to continue existing provision for enrolled learners. Contract performance is measured through pass rate, learner feedback, attendance, retention and completion of progress reviews.

This award indicates demand from Sellafield for a specialist education and training provider able to manage established higher- and further-education programmes within a regulated industrial environment. A credible future competitor would need to deliver complete programme administration, learner support, assessment and quality assurance, while protecting continuity for learners already enrolled. The requirement favours providers with the systems and staff to track learner progress, attendance, retention, feedback and qualification outcomes, and to carry out scheduled progress reviews reliably. Evidence of sustained delivery across existing cohorts, robust quality controls and the capacity to support learners through completion would be commercially relevant. Providers able to combine teaching or training delivery with dependable administration and outcome monitoring are best placed for this buyer’s recurring requirement.
