Sellafield Selects Preferred Partners For MDSW Framework
Sellafield Ltd has selected Amec, Hertel (UK) Ltd and Shepley Engineers Ltd as its preferred partners to deliver work packages worth a potential £280 million at the nuclear complex in West Cumbria.
The Multi Discipline Site Works (MDSW) framework updates an existing arrangement governing how a range of maintenance jobs and tasks, asset care projects and asset restoration projects are delivered across the Sellafield site.
The three companies identified as preferred partners have a long history of working on the Sellafield site.
The MDSW framework is a transitional arrangement designed as a stepping stone to further develop the collaborative approach to contract delivery introduced under a new Overarching Acquisition Strategy (OAS) by Sellafield Ltd's parent body Nuclear Management Partners.
The framework covers a number of activities that support operations and project activities across the Sellafield site under the three main disciplines of civil, electrical and mechanical with associated task delivery services.
Along with other significant contracts already let, or due to follow, as part of the site’s Overarching Acquisition Strategy, the MDSW is designed to provide stability of delivery as the site undergoes behavioural changes into the long term partnering contract arrangements.
The framework could run for a maximum four year timeline with a total estimated range of £200 million to £280 million. It will further develop benefits already delivered by the current contracting approach such as standardisation of contracts, reduction in contract numbers, rationalisation of the supply chain and encouragement of innovation.
Keith Case, Sellafield Commercial Director, said: "The MDSW framework is a significant piece of work for the site as it helps provide a pathway to the new, longer term partnering arrangements that we feel will deliver benefits.
"It's a key enabler for us and will provide stability as we transition across to that new way of working.
"We're very pleased to have identified three partners with track records of delivery in these areas, all of whom have substantial experience of working on the Sellafield site and a solid understanding of the unique challenges we face."
