	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2016 answer text <p>Sellafield is considered a ‘Contracting Authority’ under the EU Procurement Directives and as such they have to apply the Public Procurement Regulations in all their procurements, ensuring fair, equitable and transparent treatment for all suppliers whether local or not. The NDA have required Sellafield to consider SMEs, socio economic and the UK Growth agenda within their procurement strategies, which in turn should support smaller local suppliers.</p><p>The SME target for the NDA Estate as a whole has been agreed with Government as 31% by 2020 and it is expected that each Site Licence Company (SLC), including Sellafield contribute to that target. The target is made up of both direct (SLC spend) and indirect (major supplier) spend. The target is broken up over the next financial years as follows:</p><p><br>15/16 21.5 – 23%</p><p>16/17 23.5 – 25%</p><p>17/18 25.5 – 29%</p><p>18/19 29.0 – 31%</p><p><br>The NDA monitors the target with Sellafield reporting their direct spend with SMEs and NDA collect the data centrally from the major suppliers within the Estate. In turn, SME target is monitored and supported centrally by a range of systems including meetings with Lord Bourne, the DECC SME Minister, and various Cabinet Office meetings where NDA is an active participant. The NDA Executive and its Board are also updated regularly on performance against the SME target as well as wider discussions across the Estate. The NDA 2016-2019 Business Plan (currently out for consultation, <a href="http://www.nda.gov.uk/" target="_blank">www.nda.gov.uk</a>) details the SME targets for each SLC for 2016, with the expectation that this support continues during the life of the Plan.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 04/02/2016 15:11:04 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 42887 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2016 answer text <p>Local businesses are able to participate in the Sellafield Ltd goods and services procurement process. As well as engaging directly with the local supply chain, NDA and Sellafield Ltd enable the development of working relationships and commercial arrangements between local businesses and Tier 2 suppliers.</p><p>In 2014/15 of Sellafield’s total direct spend with SME’s, one-third was with Cumbrian-based suppliers. Of the remaining two-thirds, half was with one UK supplier, with the remaining half spread across SME’s across the UK. The NDA has a well-established SME engagement programme available at (<a href="http://www.nda.gov.uk/contracts-and-competition/" target="_blank">http://www.nda.gov.uk/contracts-and-competition/</a>) which Sellafield support. This includes regional and National SME steering groups – with a specific Cumbrian group being one of the regions, various guides and publications, promoting SME friendly procurements, a SME mentoring scheme and annual national NDA estate supply chain event with particular focus on SMEs. Companies local to Sellafield are engaged in these activities.</p><p>Furthermore, in recent years business support has been provided to West Cumbrian businesses through schemes delivered by Britain’s Energy Coast and financed from a combination of NDA &amp; Sellafield Ltd socio-economic budgets. This has amounted to approximately £500K per annum supporting local schemes such as the Energy Opportunities Supply Chain Project, Linkstart, and Ways Into Successful Enterprise. NDA provided match funding of £1m to the BEC delivered Regional Growth Fund 2 for West Cumbria, and both Sellafield Ltd and NDA have previously financially supported the Innovus scheme which aims to support businesses in the development of new products through the various Technology Readiness Levels.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 04/02/2016 14:48:54 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 42886 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
