Sellafield has reached an agreement with Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick and Doosan Babcock which could be worth up to £237 million.
Sellafield Ltd’s Programme and Project Partners (PPP) has announced the winners of a mechanical and pipework framework agreement, which is worth between £112m and £237m over the life of the programme.
The scope of work includes piping fabrication and installation and installation of mechanical equipment for PPP’s portfolio of projects.
This is the third Key Delivery Partner (KDP) framework to be awarded by PPP.
PPP is made up of four lot partners – KBR, Jacobs, Morgan Sindall Infrastructure and Doosan Babcock Ltd – plus Sellafield Ltd as the fifth partner.
The partnership helps Sellafield Ltd to deliver its purpose of creating a clean and safe environment for future generations.
Peter Hogg, head of supply chain for PPP, said: “We are delighted to have confirmed our third long-term work partnership for PPP. I am confident that these two companies will bring positive innovations and value to our projects. They will also be working closely with SMEs within these frameworks to ensure enhanced project delivery, and increased social impact and economic benefits for our communities.”
Will Smith, managing director of Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick, said: “Utilising our expert capabilities and collaborative delivery approach, Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick is perfectly positioned to deliver the latest mechanical and pipework framework at Sellafield. Having now been appointed to the third of Programme and Project Partners’ frameworks, we have cemented our status as a key delivery partner; through which we will continue to deliver a lasting positive legacy across the region.”
