Assessment Of The Benefits Of The NDA Innovation Portfolio
17th July 2023
The NDA innovation programme covers a range of supply chain focused calls and competitions that have been run since 2006. It is targeted at the NDA's growing ambition to deliver its decommissioning mission safer, faster and at lower cost.
The programme is part of the NDA's wider R&D programme, run as part of its statutory requirements under the Energy Act 2004 to carry out research into matters relating to the decommissioning of nuclear installations and the cleaning-up of nuclear sites.
The programme has evolved over time, with the design of recent calls taking on board learnings from the experience of previous competitions. While benefits from projects were captured through project-level reporting, such as the monitoring officer reporting system for calls with Innovate UK, the programme-wide benefits have historically not been reported on in a consistent way. With this in mind, the NDA commissioned know.consulting to deliver a baseline benefits assessment of the past and current NDA innovation portfolio.
