Anchor Partnership extension with the National Decommissioning Centre (NDC).

Description

Anchor Partnership extension with the National Decommissioning Centre (NDC). This direct award for a one-year strategic partnership with the NDC. Service to be procured is a 1-year "anchor partnership" with the National Decommissioning Centre (NDC). This will be the 5th year of cross-industry collaborative working with the NDC. The primary objective of the Partnership is to support and guide the research and development (R&D) programme of the National Decommissioning Centre (NDC) to ensure alignment with industry requirements and priorities. We will be able to influence and guide the research to cover cross-industry requirements that are of interest to the NDA. Anchor Partner status offers the opportunity for us to become part of the National Decommissioning Centre team, to work jointly with them in defining the scope of Research Projects, participate in their design and contribute to their implementation, thereby also influencing the overall strategic direction of the Centre and encouraging and stimulating more R&D. We will have direct access to the personnel and facilities of the Centre to enable effective collaboration.
