Events - a comprehensive programme of events to boost companies’ technical and commercial knowledge from safety requirements in the nuclear sector to writing effective bids. Events will introduce companies to others in the supply chain as well as put you in touch with the buyers.
Direct Assistance - companies can receive free in-depth technical or commercial assistance from experienced nuclear sector advisers. Looking for support with engineering or manufacturing operations, or business development/planning - project partners can help you with expert reviews and advice.
Information - several key documents have been produced to assist Scottish companies in understanding the current commercial environment - Nuclear Market Opportunities Guide, Best Practice Guidance for Tendering, The Nuclear Supply Chain - Scotland’s Key Strengths and Global Decommissioning Update 2010 - Opportunities for Scotland. These documents - and other useful links - are available from the website (see below).
This project is aimed at manufacturing SMEs interested in entering the nuclear decommissioning/new build sector or in developing their position in same. Their main challenges include quality, standards and introducing innovation as well as understanding their potential role in the nuclear sector, how to progress towards active involvement or how to develop their position.
