two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Nuclear Waste Services brings together the UK’s leading nuclear waste management capabilities.
We have integrated the expertise of Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR), Radioactive Waste Management (RWM), and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group’s Integrated Waste Management Programme (IWMP). This creates an organisation focused on the management of the UK’s nuclear waste, safely and securely for generations to come.
The Transformation Support Partner is a core delivery role, with the NWS business needing to move to an integrated set of digital, people and process solutions at pace, and the supplier will need to be able to offer a range of solutions across our major delivery programmes and our enabling functions. The Consultant will lead and drive the overall delivery plan for the Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO), building NWS supporting processes, systems, and underpinning governance up to the Enterprise Portfolio Performance & Sanction Committee (EPPSC). As part of this, the Consultant will be required to partner with the Client's key programmes (Geological Disposal Facility (GDF), IWMP, Repository Development) to develop and embed the core underpinning baseline, resource and capability planning, cost management and estimating basis, and help establish these programmes for success.
The Consultant will support the transformation programme in the roll out of the digital platform and the blueprint for digital transformation, providing resources where applicable to help NWS Exec teams to shape the direction in line with the vision and strategy set out in the NWS ‘big picture’ and ‘10 x 2030’ visions, as well as supporting the underpinning people development and skill capability needed to be successful. This will involve a range of solutions from Power BI driven PDMS solutions, encompassing performance information and dashboards with delivery lifecycles to core data lakes and common data environments, all linked to our digital blueprint.
They will be a major resource supplier to the transformation programme, covering change management, business analysis, capability (skills), resource forecasting tools, project management, and digital/IT analysis and architecture. It will support delivery of the key elements within the programme through integrated solutions as set out through the requirements established by the business, inclusive of technology solutions defined on our digital blueprint.
The Consultant will also be required to support the transformation plan required to deliver and execute changes to support the future target operating model requirements of the GDF Programme as NWS move to intelligent client model as part of the corporate strategy. This will include a range of changes to our commercial approach.
There is also a need to assist in the delivery of improvement plans as established by transformation blueprints across all our enabling functions in commercial, technical, finance, EHSSQ, legal and corporate services, with the ability to provide support across these areas as required in the form of technical expertise and nuclear industry expertise to deliver on capability blueprints.
The Consultant should have knowledge and understanding of delivery of major programmes and the transformation from strategy to delivery, as well as delivery of digital solutions across a range of subject matters and delivery of a broad range of services across multiple disciplines.
