Sellafield's Programme and Project Partners has appointed its final key delivery partner to help deliver major projects
Altrad Support Services and KAEFER UK & Ireland have signed a multi-million-pound-a-year contract to deliver access solutions, insulation and painting services on Programme and Project Partners and help deliver major projects at Sellafield.
The framework agreement totals approximately £180m over the life of the partnership and sees Altrad and KAEFER become the final of 10 key delivery partners to join the Programme and Project Partners enterprise.
As the partnership celebrates its fifth anniversary, the completion of the key delivery partner procurements will strengthen Programme and Project Partner’s capability to transform major project delivery at the Sellafield site.
The last of the key delivery partner frameworks are part of the partnership’s multi-project procurement model, which has established long-term relationships with key supply partners to deliver work packages covering everything from building fit out, groundworks and general civils to steelwork and cladding. It encourages collaboration throughout the supply chain, enhancing project delivery and maximising economic and social impact in West Cumbria.
The Programme and Project Partners approach is a first of its kind, developed to draw on the unique expertise brought from each partnering organisation. It is already helping achieve significant firsts for the nuclear industry and is seeing benefits from quicker engagement and reduced overheads through early contractor involvement.
This is helping Programme and Project Partners realise significant benefits such as leading the way in safety initiatives and improvements in project delivery excellence.
John Rossiter, Programme and Project Partner’s head of supply chain, said:
To award the final key delivery partner frameworks and complete the Programme and Project Partners enterprise is a proud moment for everyone involved in the partnership.
Programme and Project Partners is changing the dial, creating an enterprise based on commercially aligned, incentivised, long-term contracts, which give surety of work, confidence to invest in the region and puts small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) innovation into the earliest stages of project delivery. The key delivery partners key suppliers are often SMEs that will benefit after Programme and Project Partners from the long-term engagement
We’re delighted to welcome Altrad Support Services and KAEFER on board to deliver the access solutions, insulation and painting services framework over the course of the partnership. Now we have completed our core structure, we’re looking forward to building a deeper collaborative ecosystem through multiple supply chain tiers so we can meet our collective commitments and continue to improve major project delivery.
