SUMMARY:Programme and Project Partners at Sellafield Meet the Buyers – Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:A 7 hour Virtual Conference promoting supply chain opportunities and key sustainability imperatives for the PPPs at Sellafield. \n  \nThe purpose of the event is to support businesses to understand how to engage with a number of organisations currently operating within the PPP Framework (which is a very large\, 16yr manufacturing\, construction and engineering programme at Sellafield).  It’s not all about PPP though\, the emphasis is really to invite businesses into our respective supply chains and introduce them to opportunities wider within our organisations.   This is a collaboration between Sir Robert McAlpine\, Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick\, NG Bailey\, EJ Parker\, Altrad Babcock\, Severfield and Wm Hare. It is being supported by Jacobs\, Morgan Sindall\, KBR and Sellafield\, so all in all some very big players coming together for collective impact. \n  \nThe scope of activity is manufacturing\, construction\, engineering – so this will be very relevant for any organisation working in these sectors\, but also related professional service providers. \n  \nIt is completely free\, and if nothing else\, being registered with the Supply Chain Sustainability School is very useful in itself.    The link to register is here: \n  \nProgramme and Project Partners at Sellafield Meet the Buyers – Virtual Conference (supplychainschool.co.uk)
