## Summary

Sellafield Limited commissioned the Evolve Work Experience service for Year 10 students. The requirement is an education and training service focused on providing work-experience opportunities for school pupils. The stated purpose is to support the Evolve Work Experience programme, rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. Sellafield Limited is the public-sector buyer. The awarded provider is the University of Cumbria, based in Carlisle, indicating that a higher-education institution has been selected to deliver the service. The procurement identifies education and training services as its relevant business category. The requirement is associated with Sellafield Limited’s work-experience needs; the published information does not identify a separate delivery location.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to the University of Cumbria, with an active award and contract. The award and contract were signed on 7 August 2026. The contract runs from 7 August 2026 to 26 February 2027, with renewal options described as +1 +1 and a maximum extent to 26 February 2029. Its value is £120,000 excluding VAT and £144,000 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The contracting process records a single award and a single supplier. The published outcome does not set out an evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Sellafield Limited for structured work-experience provision for Year 10 students. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be education or training organisations able to design and run a coherent pupil work-experience programme, coordinate with a major public-sector employer, and manage delivery for school-age participants. Credibility would come from relevant experience in education, careers, employability or work-based learning, together with the operational capacity to organise placements, supervision, safeguarding arrangements and communication with schools and the buyer. Universities, colleges, specialist training providers and organisations with comparable youth employability programmes may therefore be relevant competitors when this requirement returns to market.
