## Summary

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority has embarked on a graduate scheme procurement process titled "NDA Group Graduate Scheme". Set in the services category, this initiative focuses on vocational training services across the United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, the process is anticipated to kick off from September 2027, running for five years until August 2032. Key timelines include a future notice date slated for 1st April 2027. The scheme includes the graduates recruited and managed by Energus, a subsidiary of the NDA Group, and promises deployment opportunities within the NDA Group over the following years.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialised in vocational training and academic institutions that can complement the training programs. Companies that offer comprehensive training models, particularly those with expertise in Finance, Audit and Risk (FAR), could strongly align with the objectives of the NDA's programme. Moreover, the direct award procurement method simplifies the process for suitable entities, promoting opportunities for efficient collaboration and contract acquisition. This opportunity is ideally suited for service providers poised to engage with central government entities in the public sector.

## Notice

NDA Group Graduate Scheme covering a period of 5 years starting from cohort Sep 2027. The graduates are recruited, selected, employed and managed by an NDA Group subsidiary (Energus), then deployed within the NDA Group for a period of 2 years and 3 years for FAR Graduates (Finance, Audit and Risk). They rotate within the NDA Group until the end of their scheme.
