## Summary

Sellafield Limited procured higher and further education provision for learners already enrolled on programmes at the University of Liverpool. The purpose is to maintain continuity so learners can complete their qualifications without disruption or a change to their learning environment. The requirement is a personal development training service, covering higher education and further education programmes that span several years and involve multiple current learners. Sellafield Limited is the buying organisation, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The appointed provider is the University of Liverpool, a large higher education institution. This requirement is relevant to universities, further education providers and organisations able to deliver structured, multi-year learner programmes and maintain continuity for students already in study.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to the University of Liverpool and signed on 13 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £96,250 excluding VAT, or £115,500 including VAT. The stated rationale is to ensure continuity for existing learners whose higher and further education programmes span multiple years. The procurement was organised as a single completed lot. The contract is active. The award covers personal development training services and applies to the United Kingdom. The published outcome identifies the University of Liverpool as the sole supplier selected for this requirement.

For a supplier assessing future work with Sellafield Limited, this procurement demonstrates demand for sustained higher and further education provision rather than a short, standalone training engagement. A credible competitor would need to support learners already enrolled on programmes, preserve continuity across a multi-year period and help students complete their qualifications without unnecessary changes to their learning environment. Relevant organisations are likely to include universities, further education colleges and established education or training providers with the academic infrastructure, teaching capacity and programme-management arrangements to deliver higher and further education. Experience coordinating learners across programmes that span several years, maintaining consistent provision and working with a major public-sector employer would strengthen a future proposition for this buyer.
