The partner will be responsible for supporting the development and delivery of the programme, providing technical, commercial and project management capability to ensure effective planning, risk management and delivery of defined outcomes.
GBE-N says that due to the evolving nature of the programme and the length of contract, envisaged at 14 years, the volume and value of services required may vary over time, with potential for new SMR deployments to be added to its scope. The stated value therefore represents an estimated total potential spend rather than a committed or guaranteed amount. In addition, progression through design stages and associated milestones or gates will determine the timing and extent of services required, potentially influencing the overall contract value over time.
The contract will be structured around an Incentivised Collaboration Agreement (ICA) which will link delivery partner incentives to defined outcomes and milestones, supporting delivery performance, risk management and value for money.
Tender enquiries are due by 20 July 2026, with submissions due by 6 August.
