National recognition for collaboration

The Institute of Collaborative Working has recognised one of our major supply chain frameworks as best in class after winning the ‘Supply Chain’ award.

The Windscale Pile Chimney on the Sellafield site.

The removal of the top diffuser from the Windscale Pile Chimney is one of the many major projects that the framework has been involved in.

Sellafield Ltd and our Decommissioning Delivery Partnership framework partners ADAPT, CNSL, IDS, Nexus, TDA, i3 have received the prestigious ‘Supply Chain’ award’ at the 2021 Institute for Collaborative Working annual event sponsored by the British Standards Institute.

The award is significant external recognition of our approach to collaboration.

Sellafield Ltd category manager Paul King, who attended the event (virtually) on behalf of the company alongside representatives from our partners, said:

Our submission was assessed against a number of elements including awareness, knowledge, partner selection, internal assessment, working together, value creation and staying together.

I’m extremely proud of the work we have carried out alongside our lot delivery partners, and the award recognises the collective activity of our programmes over the last 5 years.

The organisers of the event praised the collective dedication of our key work at Sellafield, that includes major milestones such as the removal of the diffuser at the top of the Windscale Pile Chimney and installing one of the machines that will retrieve waste from the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo.

Collaboration is fundamental to the delivery of our purpose – creating a clean and safe environment for future generations.

Sellafield Ltd supply chain director Susan Lussem added:

I’m delighted that Sellafield Ltd and its partners have once again shown that collaboration is key to the success of making strides to cleaning up our site. I’m looking forward to more successes in 2022.
