Some NDA Estate Supply Chain facts£1.6bn is spent in the Supply Chain annually the vast majority of which is spent via our SLC’s
The NDA Estate is the second largest D&WM Programme in the World
Our Estate supports over 3000 Suppliers
The NDA Programme stretches into the next Century
There is no such thing as a typical contract
A growing number of Contracts cover the entire NDA Estate - £300m pa
There is mature existing domestic Supply Chain which is refreshed by new entrants
There is no “ideal size” of Supply Chain company
Simple solutions are often “best”
Nuclear experience is generally an advantage
Performance really counts; safety, quality, programme and cost

NDA’s approach to the Supply Chain
11
Supply Chain is a key “enabler” to help deliver our Mission so it has its own strategy
We don’t mandate the use of the Supply Chain but.........
NDA works across all our Estate and is now engaging with the other Nuclear clients
We seek to learn lessons from other sectors and markets domestically and internationally
Our role (and that of the SLC’s) is to help enable the Supply Chain to be successful
The Supply Chain should be rewarded commensurate with the risk and opportunity
Supply Chain Optimisation in NDA

The vast majority of work is awarded following open competition
Developing predictable and consistent acquisition processes
“Best” bidder wins
Developing “Supply Chain Pipelines” to support Supply Chain Capability and Capacity growth
Recognition of success

So in summary;
The Supply Chain is an integral part of the whole Nuclear Sector, which is now a global business. Clients need to focus on being the best we can and the Supply Chain needs to bring its highest quality offering to the table each and every time.
What we all do really counts
