ACA secures place on DIO framework for nuclear services
The Atkins Cavendish Alliance (ACA), a subsidiary of Babcock International, has secured a place on the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) framework for providing specialist nuclear technical services.
The Nuclear Technical Support Provider (NTSP) framework covers a seven-year period with options for a three-year extension and is valued between £250 million and £400 million. It includes services for the DIO, RN Command and other MoD organisations.
Its primary focus will be on refurbishing and upgrading critical infrastructure at HMNB Clyde as part of the Clyde Infrastructure Programme (CIP)
Mike McNicholas, Infrastructure Managing Director at Atkins, said: ‘The CIP represents an incredible opportunity to help shape the UK’s defence capability and further strengthen the industry’s collective expertise in delivering highly specialised nuclear services.’
