Sellafield Ltd has selected Morgan Sindall and Arup in joint venture as its preferred delivery partner for a potential £1.1 billion contract to provide a range of essential infrastructure asset services to the Sellafield site.

The contract is expected to be signed later in the year and will run for an initial five year period, with the option of extending the deal for a further 10 years.

The deal will see the creation of the Infrastructure Strategic Alliance (ISA), which will work in partnership with Sellafield Ltd to deliver programme management and project delivery services for all infrastructure assets, as well as non-utility systems.
