PROCUREMENT

摘要

EDF is not due to make a final investment decision on the Hinkley Point C plant until the end of the year but it has already let some big contracts.Kier/Bam have already started work on the £100m earthworks job to prepare the foundations at the site and big contracts such as the £2.5bn civil engineering job and the £250m of marine works are both down to shortlist.Nigel Cann, Hinkley construction director, says he expects to let a couple of hundred tier one contracts. He says he intends to use a rewards system similar to that pioneered on projects such as Heathrow Terminal Two, which will allow contractors that run under budget to take a percentage of the savings.
