Three suppliers have been appointed to a new framework that will deliver specialist nuclear technical services valued between £250 million to £400 million.

ACA (Atkins Cavendish Alliance), KAD (KBR, Assystem, Doosan Babcock) and Nuvia have been selected for the Nuclear Technical Support Provider (NTSP) framework, which will run for seven years with an option for a further three years. It will support the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), Navy Command and other MOD organisations.


Its primary focus will be on delivering the refurbishment and upgrade of critical infrastructure at HMNB Clyde.

Charles Hoskins, DIO's Clyde Infrastructure Programme Director, said: "The NTSP is vitally important to the delivery of our major infrastructure programme and wider operations at HMNB Clyde. We welcome all companies from our new NTSP delivery partners to our infrastructure family within the Clyde Community.

"We look forward to them joining our delivery team and our collaborative approach that we are embedding into all work we undertake at HMNB Clyde. The expertise and collaborative approach from our new partners will be crucial to our success as we move forward into the exciting and challenging next chapter of our programme."

All successful suppliers are expected to be officially awarded contracts next month.
