We are privileged to be part of this award-winning, collaborative partnership. We look forward to working with the Programme and Project Partners (PPP) teams and the supply chain partner companies to collectively enhance the delivery of major projects at the Sellafield site. The 15-year framework enables us to build on our 35-year relationship with Sellafield Ltd, while delivering long-term, sustainable projects which provide local employment opportunities and social value to the West Cumbria community.
We’re delighted to welcome Altrad UK, Ireland & Nordics and KAEFER UK & Ireland as our final Key Delivery Partners (KDPs). This multi-million-pound-a-year contract, part of a £180m framework, will bolster our access solutions, insulation, and painting services and complete our pioneering KDP enterprise. Having recently celebrated our partnership’s fifth anniversary, this latest milestone strengthens our capability to deliver our long-term programme of major infrastructure projects on the Sellafield Ltd site. Our collaborative approach is already setting industry firsts, driving safety initiatives across our vast supply chain, enhancing project delivery excellence, and bringing benefits to the local community. Over PPP's lifespan, we expect £3bn of the projected £7bn turnover to flow through our KDPs, with £1bn benefiting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We now work with over 200 suppliers across the UK, with 40% based in the North-West and nearly 70% being SMEs. With over 100 years of work ahead, Sellafield is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the North, driving growth and employment in Cumbria and beyond. John Rossiter, PPP’s Head of Supply Chain, said: "To award the final KDP framework and complete the PPP enterprise is a proud moment for everyone involved in the partnership. PPP is changing the dial, creating an enterprise based on long-term, commercially aligned contracts that benefit SMEs and invest in the region. 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.” Altrad Support Solutions and KAEFER join the already appointed KDPs: ▪ Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick and Parker Technical Services (HVAC) ▪ Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick and NG Bailey (Electrical and Instrumentation) ▪ Altrad Babcock and Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick (Mechanical and Pipework) ▪ Severfield and William Hare Group (Steelwork) ▪ Sir Robert McAlpine (Groundworks and Concrete Structures) Welcome aboard, Altrad and KAEFER!
