The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) today completed one of the UK’s largest and most complex public procurement programmes when the shares in Sellafield Ltd transferred from British Nuclear Fuels Ltd to a specially created private sector consortium – Nuclear Management Partners Ltd.


Nuclear Management Partners Ltd (NMP) will own the shares in Sellafield Ltd for up to 17 years, the potential length of new and updated contracts between the NDA, NMP and Sellafield Ltd. The value of the work covered is worth £1.3bn in its first year and over the full lifetime of the contract approximately £22bn.
