## Summary

The Secretary of State for Defence (MOD) has completed the award stage of a contract titled "Graduate Scheme as a Service." The contract has been awarded to Energus, a not-for-profit subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, in the services category. The contract aims to place graduates into Defence roles across various technical and non-technical disciplines for two-year periods, including placements within Defence and its supply chain. The procurement method used was a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice. This contract, valued at £2,142,000, was signed on 19 August 2024 and encompasses the entire UK region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing technical training and graduate placement services, particularly those that can offer specialised expertise in the Defence sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Energus, which can meet the technical specifications and experience required for such roles, are well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, businesses involved in the broader Defence supply chain might find opportunities for subcontracting and collaboration within this framework, offering pathways for growth and increased sector engagement.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Defence Nuclear Organisation is to sponsor one cohort of 17 graduates for 2 years through the Energus Nuclear Graduate Scheme (ENG). Energus is a not-for-profit subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. This scheme provides graduates on placement into Defence across a range of both technical and non-technical disciplines for a period of 2 years including placements within both Defence and the Defence supply chain.

### Procurement Information

Energus is a not-for-profit wholly owned subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and the default external graduate scheme provider for the majority of the NSDG partners in the nuclear sector. DNO's requirement for this cohort is 10.96% of Energus' in-year provision. No other organisation is known to supply sector wide nuclear graduates. It is also the only known provider that offers the model the NSDG needs to bring in the required experience in the Nuclear Sector. The NSST (which is the new delivery arm of NSDG) will be reviewing future requirements for Graduate schemes for the sector and developing the appropriate commercial strategy in due course.
