We have two complex infrastructure programmes: 1) Future Material Campus (FMC) - focusing on the required investment to renew AWE's manufacturing and storage capability for nuclear materials and increasing capability for material recovery. 2) Future Infrastructure Programme (FIP) - focusing on delivering AWE's wider infrastructure needs in relation to new office accommodation; laboratories; testing facilities, site services, and advanced manufacturing facilities. This framework will focus on upgrading existing electrical network under the Future Infrastructure Programme. However, there is the possibility that works could also be carried out in the Future Material Campus. o Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade (EIU) - focusing on delivering AWE's wider electrical infrastructure needs across both Aldermaston and Burghfield sites in relation to new build substations, substation asset replacement, substation construction works, substation civil works, enabling works, High Voltage 11kV (HV) & Low Voltage (LV) underground cabling. AWE's strategic aspirations are: - Upgrade and modernise its electrical network infrastructure - Improve network resilience and obsolescence management - Benefit from modern standards and requirements - Reduce the cost base of new infrastructure This PIN Notice specifically relates to the support required to enable the Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade Programme (EIU).
