The Sellafield Colleague Development Programme (CDP) is a programme currently in the design phase.

The CDP will create cohorts of delivery experts/leaders/decision makers/enablers who understand the predicators of successful delivery in complex environments, the potential hurdles and pitfalls, how to mitigate them and behaviours to maximise their impact on the achievement of the delivery of the Enterprise Strategy.

It will align with the government's Major Projects Leadership Academy .

Further details are available in CTM RFT13162 which suppliers can access once registered on CTM.

The CDP Team seeks to appoint a 'mixed economy' of providers: A single, high calibre, higher education establishment (or a set of establishments working together) with significant experience and expertise in developing and delivering a similar type of programme across Government or large scale public sector organisations.

A range of micro businesses and SMEs who are able to work together, either through a formal alliance or sub-contracting arrangement, to provide a more informal learning style e.g. mentoring, coaching, action learning, small group work.

This will provide the participants with the opportunity to utilise their newly found skills in their working environment and support the continued learning.

These provides are key to 'hard wiring' the new behaviours and mindset across the enterprise.

It is anticipated some of these businesses may be located locally and already be part of the Sellafield Supply Chain and others will be located elsewhere in the UK bringing significant specialist subject matter expertise.
