The contract is the fourth key delivery partner supplier framework to be awarded as part of a major programme of procurements to support the long-term delivery of major decommissioning infrastructure on the Sellafield site.

The framework includes general construction activities such as internal walls, ceilings, screeding, flooring, painting and joinery.

John Shannon, divisional director of Seddon, said: "This an excellent appointment for Seddon as a supply chain partner for the Sellafield site.

"We pride ourselves on our expertise and have complete faith in our experience to deliver best-of-kind service over the next 17 years.

"This opportunity will ensure that we, along with other stakeholders, contribute to both the community and regional economy positively over this period."

PPP head of supply chain Peter Hogg added: "We are very pleased to announce our fifth long-term work partnership for PPP.

"This company has never worked ‘inside the fence’ at Sellafield before and that is why the PPP model is different.

"It is providing opportunities to organisations that we have not worked with before, which can provide innovative solutions to meet our long-term needs.

"This collaboration, together with Seddon’s supply chain will ensure enhanced project
delivery and increased social impact and economic benefits for our communities."
