The management changes underway at the U.K.’s Sellafield site will not impact the site’s current contracts and supply chain approach, a Sellafield Limited official said yesterday. Last week the U.K. government announced that it will terminate Nuclear Management Partners’ contract to run the site and ownership of site license company Sellafield Ltd. will revert from NMP to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. “Sellafield Ltd’s existing approach to all aspects of supply chain engagement will continue to apply in the context of our Site Strategy and its focus on safe and secure site stewardship, demonstrable progress and delivery of value for money for the taxpayer,” Sellafield Ltd. Chief Business Officer George Beveridge said in a statement yesterday. “Existing contracts will remain unaffected and our current procurement plan remains in place.”
The NDA also said last week it would seek a “strategic partner” in industry for a long-term role in cleanup at Sellafield. Beveridge added: “We will be working with NDA to agree the implications of procuring a Strategic Partner as part of the new Sellafield delivery model announced by DECC/NDA and any future changes to our procurement plan will be fully communicated through our existing forums and interface arrangements with the supply chain and associated stakeholders.”
