## Summary

Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N) commissioned executive advisory services for its Chair and selected executives. The work is intended to continue advisory support provided in 2025, help shape the Non-Executive Chair role, and strengthen the behavioural and cultural conditions needed for success across GBE-N and the wider small modular reactor (SMR) enterprise. The service includes coaching. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a focused leadership and organisational advisory requirement, rather than technical nuclear engineering or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. GBE-N made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, to Ankura Consulting (Europe) Limited. The contract was signed on 19 June 2026 and runs from 1 July to 31 October 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). There was one lot, awarded to Ankura. The published procurement details do not state evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the award outcome is the clearest indication of the route and supplier selected for this requirement.

For suppliers seeking comparable future work from GBE-N, this award indicates demand for senior-level coaching and executive advice linked to leadership role design, organisational behaviour and culture. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate experience advising chairs and senior executives, continuity across advisory engagements, and the judgement to work with sensitive leadership and organisational issues. They would also need to connect that work to the particular context of GBE-N and the wider SMR enterprise, rather than offer generic coaching alone. The award went to a consulting firm for a focused, short-duration engagement, showing that this requirement was addressed through specialist advisory capability rather than a large delivery team or technical nuclear services.
