Organisations within the Decommissioning Delivery Partnership are involved with specialist decommissioning programmes on the Sellafield site.

Specialist jobs such as demolishing chimneys, taking the water out of nuclear storage ponds and dismantling asbestos lined buildings require experts in their field.

The Decommissioning Delivery Partnership is a framework made up of these nuclear specialists, which Sellafield Ltd has been calling on since April 2016 to carry out vital decommissioning work.

So far 34% of the partnerships spend has been with SMEs, much greater than the 20% committed by the lot delivery partners at the outset.
