Project Management and Programme Support for Nuclear Regulatory Reform

The Nuclear Regulatory Service (NRS) is seeking project management and programme support services to advance its Regulatory Reform Project. This initiative aims to implement a proportionate, risk-informed regulatory approach across nuclear, environmental, and planning sectors while strengthening regulator engagement and enabling more efficient nuclear decommissioning. Key responsibilities include providing interim project management, governance framework development, and delivery support. The selected supplier will develop and maintain project plans, establish governance documentation, monitor progress with regular reporting, coordinate stakeholder engagement, and create communications strategies. The role encompasses defining and managing project work packages, tracking milestones and dependencies, maintaining realistic timescales, and preparing materials for executive approvals. Expected deliverables include comprehensive governance and delivery planning documentation, progress tracking mechanisms and reports, stakeholder engagement plans tailored to key audiences, and detailed communications plans. This is an opportunity to support significant regulatory modernisation that will improve the efficiency of nuclear decommissioning across the UK.
