Welcome to UKAEA's SME Webinar Sessions!
Practical guidance to help you navigate UKAEA procurement opportunities.
Following the success of our SME Collaborative event in September 2025, UKAEA is bringing three of our most in-demand workshops online as a live webinar series.
These sessions are designed to help current and prospective suppliers better understand UKAEA's procurement processes and maximise value when bidding for work. Whether you were unable to attend the September event or are looking for a refresher, this series offers practical, valuable insights.
