£500m Framework for BAE – Barrow Site Redevelopment Programme

BAE is one of the UK’s leading industries, a global defence and security company which operates one of the few shipyards in the world capable of designing and building nuclear submarine. BAE’s vision is to be the premier global defence, aerospace and security company. To help them to achieve this in Barrow, they needed partners who would focus not just on what to do, but how to do it together.

BAE’s vision for Barrow is to create a safe, effective and sustainable working environment where all their staff are inspired to work and, as such following its redevelopment, Barrow following its redevelopment will become one of the most advanced boat building yards in the world.

NAS – £80m Holistic phased refurbishment of the historic assembly shop, which was last refurbished post war. Works are currently taking place within a high security environment whilst the adjacent zones are running at full capacity delivering the Astute Submarine programme.

SBS – £25m new build facility won in open tender outside the framework to provide secure storage.
