The Ministry of Defence used an NEC4-based framework to manage a £1.3 billion, 10-year refit project, known as the Clyde Commercial Framework for its nuclear submarine base on the Clyde estuary in Scotland. The programme includes a series of replacement, refurbishment, and new-build projects at the submarine base. Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) commercial lead Ian Arbuckle said that one of the benefits of the framework was that it provides a mechanism for early contractor involvement, allowing contractors to contribute to the scope, programme, and cost estimates for each package. This helps ensure the project is delivered safely, on time, within budget, and with minimal disruption. #framework #defence #navy
