II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Understanding the impact of our strategic interventions on the Mission and OpCo<br/>Lifetime Plans, in isolation or in combination, is an important capability to assist the NDA <br/>Group in strategic planning and prioritisation of how best to spend public money for <br/>maximum value. The NDA Group does not, however, currently have a Group-level <br/>strategic planning capability nor an approach to model ‘what if’ scenarios and evaluate <br/>their mission benefit or disbenefit at group and/or opco levels. <br/>Historically, strategic planning capabilities were held by Parent Body Organisations <br/>(PBO’s) of OpCo’s, with each OpCo having its own planning capability, including <br/>creating and maintaining Lifetime Plans. Today, the OpCo Lifetime Plans remain <br/>separate data sets at different states of maturity (e.g. scope, accuracy, logic, integrity of <br/>data, underpinning assumptions) preventing the simulation of ‘what-if’ interventions at <br/>the Group level. <br/>Our work to date includes: <br/>• External review of others <br/>• Early work to define the potential form and function <br/>• Recon of NDA and opco capabilities <br/>Nuclear Waste Services is also developing an enterprise waste inventory model (with <br/>support from external advisors).<br/>To predict the impact of one or multiple ‘what-if’ scenarios across an aggregated picture <br/>of the estate (above the individual OpCo Lifetime Plans) will require the creation of a <br/>Group mission plan, against which scenarios can be modelled. By creating a Group <br/>planning capability around this Group mission plan, we will be able to model and <br/>consider group portfolio trade-offs and inter-group dependencies and translate our <br/>strategic decisions into delivery through OpCo delivery plans.<br/>To respond to this need and realise the benefits of the OneNDA model and closer <br/>working relationships, the group has confirmed the need to develop a Group planning <br/>capability, which will be the objective of a multi-year Beacon Project commencing in <br/>April 2024.<br/>We aim to design and implement a consistent Group-level approach to planning, driven <br/>by quality financial and operational / activity data. It will consider how all elements of <br/>planning across the group are conducted and how various elements contribute to <br/>meeting the NDA mission. <br/>Beyond the work completed to date, below describes the further development work <br/>required to successfully deliver Year 1 of the Beacon Project and the associated <br/>‘Stretch’ measures/commitments made in the Group Key Target (GKT): <br/> This engagement has two primary objectives: <br/>1. To support the Beacon project working group to identify, design and implement a suite <br/>of management arrangements to establish and maintain the initial group planning <br/>capability and Group Mission Plan upon which it relies. <br/>2. To design and facilitate to conclusion, a scenario modelling event that considers one <br/>scenario (likely comprising several interventions) in order to determine and present in <br/>a report the mission benefits and disbenefits of said scenario in terms of cost and <br/>schedule impacts on the Group mission.
