Each of the four core members of the ATLAS Alliance have long standing relationships with the ONR and have been involved in projects in support of the ONR through the previous framework arrangement that delivered approximately £4M worth of technical support to the ONR.
Dr Karen Hildred at TÜV SÜD said:
The award of this Framework shows that ONR have confidence and trust in our technical capabilities and ability to deliver complex technical services to a high standard. This is a great achievement for TÜV SÜD and gives us the chance to collaborate with the other consortium members in ensuring the safety and security of the UK nuclear industry.
