HPC offers significant contract opportunities throughout its 10-year construction and beyond.  All companies wishing to join the HPC supply chain must be able to translate their existing capability to fit customer requirements.

As the first nuclear power station to be built in a generation, HPC adopts the latest best practice techniques. Safety is the number one priority, and the expectations and standards required for achieving nuclear excellence are higher than ever on this project.  It is vital to EDF and its primary contractors that this is understood and implemented at every level of the supply chain to deliver the project on time and on budget.

To address this issue, SWMAS has worked with EDF to develop the HPC Supplier Induction Programme, designed to help companies bridge gaps in their nuclear knowledge and prepare to support their potential HPC customers.

With flexibility and time considerations in mind, this support programme has been developed into a series of online training modules. Each focusses on a key aspect of essential nuclear learning based around strict, industry-specific standards and guidelines from the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO).

As part of this programme, our nuclear specialists will host regular, online Live Q&A Sessions, available after you have accessed each individual module to enhance your knowledge and understanding of that particular subject. These sessions are designed to answer any specific questions you may have, and help you feel confident to implement the principles you have learnt within your own business.  

Going forward, our team will also offer regular follow-ups on a bespoke basis to match your company's individual needs and help you further develop your business.
