Description
Enabling Innovation Framework 5
The EIF 5 Scope is primarily around problem definition and framing, studies, developing functional requirements, preparing business cases and interventions for which the categories, outputs and deliverables.
The Sellafield Ltd Corporate Strategy and Strategy Management Framework provide broader organisational context and detail around the purpose and challenges of the value streams (Retrievals, Remediation, Spent Fuel Management, Special Nuclear Materials and Integrated Waste Management) and the business critical enablers.
In summary the scope of the EIF encompasses:
• Support to problem framing: establishing clarity over needs and priorities and providing technical / digital support;
• Help in establishing project purpose, principles, roles and tasks before the Detail is decided
• Problem definition: help in translating service requirements into clear functional / technical / digital requirements;
• Support to studies;
• Support for problem solving and recovery of stalled projects through enabling services or focussed technical and digital support / solutions;
• Support to establishing correct measures, metrics and targets for success;
• Improving understanding of supply chain capability;
• Supporting challenge to unnecessarily bespoke solutions, application of unnecessary standards and "specialist" requirements through enabling services or focussed technical / digital solutions;
• Support to constructive challenge of ongoing requirements and cost estimates;
• Relationship based: allowing the supply chain to offer up new technologies and innovations, which have not been solicited by a Sellafield Ltd client that may bring significant return on investment.
We plan to issue ten framework agreements under one lot, each lasting four years. The framework agreements will be based on Sellafield standard terms and conditions.
