Voluntary Transparency Notice (VTN)
DNE Ordnance, Munitions and Explosives (OME) Apprenticeship Intake 2024/2025.
The Defence Nuclear Organisation, Early Careers Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to UWTSD (University of Wales: Trinity St David). A contract is already in place for the provision of apprenticeship training to OME students through UWTSD, but a new contract is required to add an additional 15 graduates to this year’s cohort. The estimated value of this contract is £200,000 to cover training provider costs for the 15 apprentices joining in January 2025. This contract will have a value of £200,000 (ex VAT). The University shall receive £275,000 with the additional £75,000 being paid by the MoD Apprenticeship levy. UWTSD is the sole supplier of OME apprenticeship training in the UK, and this would dictate the commercial approach of a direct award on technical grounds to UWTSD.
