## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), headquartered in Salford, England, concluded a procurement process titled "Evaluation for HALEU Programme" within the industry category of Evaluation Consultancy Services. The process, utilising a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, progressed to the award stage on 13th March 2026, with the award notice published on 1st May 2026. The awarded contract, valued at £1,411,472.21, is designated for a contract period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030. The project spans several locations including the United Kingdom, Europe, and various British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for consultancy businesses that specialise in evaluation services. The procurement method, which involved a call-off from a framework agreement, suggests a preference for suppliers who have pre-established relationships within governmental frameworks. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find ample opportunities, as the procurement explicitly considers the suitability of such entities. Given its international exposure, businesses with the capability to deliver services across multiple regions will be advantaged. The successful bidder, RSK Environment, a large entity, demonstrates the competitive nature and calibre expected in this bid.
