The JDR Programme team have elected to utilise the IPD/CM (agent) delivery method as the over-arching organisation for managing the contracts.
It is anticipated that the JDR programme will run for 15-20 years in total, the associated Tier 1 support requirements will be required for the majority of this period (subject to funding approval and Tranche alignment).
Support requirements will expand as the programme develops into decommissioning execution phases; however, the initial expectation would be one SME (Skill set requirements) per defined role.
