Problem

A client evaluating EPC contract returns for a Gen3 deployment needed assurance across project management, construction and commissioning; commercial and contract terms; engineering and technical; operations and maintenance; and nuclear fuel. It also needed a defensible basis for selecting a preferred bidder.

Intervention

Partnering with a tier 1 consultancy, we completed a comprehensive review of EPC contract documentation and supplier returns, then supported the client in clarification and negotiation meetings, providing expert input and mediation as native English speakers on the critical points of contention.

Outcomes

  • Clear, concise feedback on supplier returns, areas of concern and clarification, and strategies for negotiation on key topics
  • Quantified the impact of residual issues, areas of missing scope and key risks
  • Enabled a balanced economic evaluation and the identification of a preferred bidder
