A nuclear safety contract won by a consortium led by a risk management consultancy in Edinburgh is considered a milestone for SMEs in global competition.
Abbott Risk Consulting (Arc) is one of a group of companies selected by the Norwegian regulator DSA to support their nuclear safety activities.
The contract runs for up to four years under framework agreements worth up to £ 4 million.
Arc said the appointment was further international recognition of its reputation as a provider of security and risk assessment services.
The consortium was awarded the contract by the Norwegian Nuclear Safety Authority in the face of “tough international competition”, he added.
Jon Baggs, Head of Arc’s Nuclear Business Unit, said, “This is an important date for us as the caliber and experience of the consultants who will provide our services – across all six partners – have been clearly recognized.
“It shows that small and medium-sized companies can compete against the large international consortia in open competition.”
