News Release
Aurora partnership to help transform
Defence engineering services
10 October 2018 - The Aurora Engineering Partnership has been
appointed by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) as their Engineering
Delivery Partner for Defence Equipment & Support
(DE&S).
From 8(th) October, the partnership - formed by QinetiQ, Atkins,
a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, and BMT - will help the MOD to
reduce costs of their engineering services, while ensuring the UK's
Armed Forces receive the best equipment and support.
With the partnership of QinetiQ, Atkins and BMT, the MOD will
get access to extensive experience in the defence sector, as well
as experience of delivering similar partnerships in other
sectors.
Aurora will help DE&S manage these costs, driving effective
change and savings through financial discipline and transparent,
simplified pricing. Dr Gordon Barr, Managing Director, Aurora
Engineering Partnership, QinetiQ, said: "The vision for the EDP is
to form a strong and professional engineering partnership with
DE&S, enabling agile and efficient outcomes for front line
equipment and support."
John McGlynn, Aurora Delivery Director, Atkins, added: "Our aim
is to provide the right support, first time, safely and within
budget. We'll achieve this by focusing first and foremost on the
outcomes for those on the front line, working collaboratively to
drive increased performance and productivity wherever we can."
Another key element of the EDP will be driving innovation from
across industry and academia. As part of this, Aurora will build a
provider network including niche and specialist small to medium
sized enterprises (SME) to tap into the best UK expertise.
Roy Quilliam, Aurora Engineering Director, BMT explains: "We are
establishing a sustainable provider network that encourages and
develops SMEs as a vital part of providing more efficient and
innovative services to DE&S. We already have an unprecedented
280 companies registered, of which 70% are SMEs, to provide
engineering services to the Aurora Engineering Partnership."
