The procurement falls under the main category of services in the business and management consultancy industry. The tender is currently in the open stage, with a tender period ending on 20th October 2022 and contract period starting on 21st October 2022.

## Notice

Between May 2022 and March 2024 STEP will establish the Initial Operating Capability (IOC) of this delivery organisation, in readiness for it to take on leadership of the programme from April 2024 (again, subject to Government approvals).

For the IOC to be reached the organisation must have established the processes, systems, procedures, knowledge, capabilities and planning assumptions to enable execution of a leadership role from April 2024. The STEP programme is looking for a Transition Partner to help UKAEA prepare for the programme to transfer to its next phase of operations.
