PROJECT MANAGEMENT | SUPPLY CHAIN
E&I Framework In its largest framework to date, PPP has appointed NG Bailey Ltd and Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick Ltd to deliver the electrical & instrumentation (E&I) work, an agreement worth £485-600 million over the life of the programme.
M&P Framework Meanwhile PPP has appointed Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick and Doosan Babcock to deliver the Mechanical and Pipework requirement, through a framework agreement worth £112 - £237m, over the life of the programme. The Mechanical and Pipework package is the third Key Delivery Partner framework to be awarded by PPP as part of this major programme spanning the next 18 years.
Goods/Services Agreement NIS Ltd, Hyde Group, Ansaldo Nuclear, James Fisher Nuclear, Carr’s Group, West Cumberland Engineering and NWEC Alliance have been selected to deliver fabricated and manufactured equipment packages for the projects, in a framework agreement for an initial three years, worth up to £20 million. The package was the first goods and services agreement
(GSA) to be awarded. Equipment to be provided include process cabinets, cast Items, bogies and rail systems. Of the seven GSA Framework suppliers, three are from
Cumbria, the county where Sellafield is situated. McMenon Engineering Services, based in local town Workington, and TIS Cumbria, formed an unincorporated Joint Venture — The North West Energy Coast Alliance — to win their place in the supply chain. “The PPP has given our business the opportunity to
be part of Sellafield’s decommissioning and to deliver fabricated and manufactured equipment packages for PPP’s groundbreaking major projects,” says Anand Purtham, chief executive officer at McMenon Engineering Service Ltd. “We are delighted with the news and excited at the
prospect of becoming one of the main Cumbrian SME suppliers to the nuclear industry. “McMenon’s Workington facility has a 75-year engineering and manufacturing heritage with exports to over 50 countries.
“When we acquired the business from a global
corporation in 2018, we promised our Cumbrian workforce that our future growth would include diversification into nuclear and renewable sectors. “Now being included as a delivery partner in the PPP
framework is a major step in fulfilling that promise to our people.”
SMEs and social Impact PPP works closely with Solomons Europe, using the UK’s SME Matchmaker Service, which provides a service to engage with, profile and identify small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that can support key delivery partners and contribute to the PPP Critical Success Factors. As well as developing opportunities for SMEs and local businesses PPP is committed to delivering social impact in
the form of: ● Long term employment opportunities to people in West Cumbria. The companies working within the PPP Framework will be encouraged to establish offices, facilities and wider business operations within the area.
● Supporting local businesses via subcontracts, reciprocal business opportunities, training, mentoring and capacity building.
● Offering targeted work placements providing career development opportunities to people in the local community who have previously struggled to find sustained, quality employment and inspiring young people to build on their aspirations by providing insight into the opportunities within PPP and wider businesses. There is a particular focus on those with the greatest need from local schools, colleges and other educational centres.
● Coordinating volunteering to deliver the greatest impact. PPP and its supply chain make available volunteering time targeted towards key PPP Social Impact initiatives. These hours are coordinated via the PPP Timebank.
What’s next: Transformation The Programme and Project Partnership’s executive board members have endorsed five key transformation workstreams designed to move PPP’s work to exemplar performance. The workstreams will help unlock more benefits from a
programme-wide approach to the delivery of PPP projects at Sellafield. The aim is to enhance processes, management and collaboration, accelerate an innovative digital data environment, create, nurture and develop high performing teams and address the skills requirement for the next two decades. These next steps will help achieve the ambitious goals which are shared between PPP, Sellafield and West Cumbria. ■
