Provision of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Advice and Support to the Office for Nuclear Regulation

Overview

ONR is seeking external professional support to help the organisation recruit from a wider diverse pool of applicants. The contract will commence in Sep 2025 for a 3-year period, with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years in annual increments (i.e. 3+1+1). Building upon our Disability Confident Leader status and achieving the National Equality Standard (NES) accreditation we want to continue to explore new ways in raising our profile across a diverse applicant pool, actively working to attract an increased diverse applicants and resulting workforce often from within a limited pool of nuclear specialists. External organisations had seen notable success when partnered with marketing specialists to run campaigns with specific content tailored to the targeted audience. Furthermore, external organisations find that campaigns targeted toward a diverse group correlated with an increase in interest from the targeted group and an increase in interest from the wider population. We wish to continue to work with an external professional supplier that is an expert in leading the way in diversity and inclusion, providing solutions for organisations wanting to attract diverse talent and create a culture of inclusion. We need an organisation that will focus on targeting the complete range of ED&I areas. This will provide ONR with a unique opportunity to enhance where we advertise our roles alongside the use of existing channels. We require the successful organisation to showcase our organisation, along with benefits, testimonials, videos and images that will give potential applicants all of the information they need to make an informed decision about whether ONR is the right fit for them and their specific needs.
