Programme and Project Partner head of supply chain Peter Hogg added:
We are delighted to have confirmed our third long-term work partnership. I’m confident that these 2 companies will bring positive innovations and value to our projects.
They will also be working closely with small and medium-sized enterprises within these frameworks to ensure enhanced project delivery, and increased social impact and economic benefits for our communities.
The Programme and Project Partners awarded its first long-term framework for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning work to Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick and EJ Parker and the second long-term framework for electrical and instrumentation to Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick and NG Bailey.
As part of its pioneering approach to project delivery and local impact, the partners have engaged with the ‘Swimming with the Big Fish small and medium-sized enterprise matchmaker service’, which brokers introductions and develops relationships between those bidding to become key delivery partners and high performing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) willing to invest in West Cumbria.
These SMEs plan to create additional jobs, recruit apprentices and invest to expand/create new facilities in the West Cumbria as a result of the work they do with their respective key delivery partners.

KBR (integration partner)
Jacobs (design and engineering partner)
Morgan Sindall Infrastructure (civils construction management partner)
Doosan Babcock Ltd (process construction management partner)
