Loren Jones, senior vice president and head of Amentum’s Energy & Environment–International business, said, “Amentum’s expertise in gigawatt reactor operational support and life extension makes it the ideal partner for EDF, one of the world’s largest nuclear utilities.” He added, “This award advances our strategy to accelerate the growth of our nuclear energy business in line with the opportunities being created by the worldwide nuclear resurgence.”
Jones said the company will deploy “the skills and experience of more than 1,000 UK-based specialists to provide the full breadth of nuclear skills, solutions, and products essential to the continued operation and life extension of the UK’s existing nuclear fleet.” He also noted, “A further 300 Amentum colleagues are already delivering multi-disciplinary roles across Hinkley Point C under the Professional Services Agreement, and we expect this number to grow as these new contracts mature, strengthening our position to support long-term operations once the reactors come online.”
Amentum has held a Lifetime Enterprise Agreement with EDF since 2015, providing long-term technical solutions that have supported an aggregate 38 years of life extension across seven advanced gas-cooled reactor stations. Mark Whitney, president of Amentum’s Energy & Environment business, said, “These new contracts build on Amentum’s differentiated position as a lead strategic partner to EDF and advance an immensely productive business relationship that dates back many decades.”
The newly awarded work includes ten-year Professional Services Agreement frameworks with Hinkley Point C, EDF Nuclear Operations, and EDF Nuclear Services, as well as a five-year Project Management Resources framework. These contracts support new build activities, station operations, life extension, and preparation for decommissioning across EDF’s UK nuclear program.
