HOW WE HELP SMES

The route into the UK’s Nuclear Supply Chain

A pathway into nuclear for SMEs which starts with a tailored sector report matching your capability to named, live nuclear opportunities. Through the Fit 4 Nuclear (F4N) programme, we then score your business against what nuclear primes and developers require and support you to close any gaps.

Fit for Nuclear – Supplier development programme

F4N helps companies become more competitive and more attractive to the nuclear sector. They are assessed against sector expectations across new build, operations and decommissioning, then receive structured improvement actions and support to close any gaps. We guide you through the whole journey.

Supply Chain Analysis and Demand Modelling

We analyse where your products and services fit within the UK's nuclear supply chain demand. Supply Chain Analysis shows you where the opportunities and capacity constraints are, so you can make confident decisions on business strategy and investment in capacity, equipment and people.

Big demand means big opportunity. Read on to see where UK manufacturers can position themselves to win work across the nuclear pipeline.
