BGEN Achieves Prestigious Approval as a Rolls-Royce Supplier
BGEN is thrilled to announce its recent approval as a supplier for Rolls-Royce Submarines, a recognition that underscores our commitment to excellence and quality in the nuclear sector. This achievement is a testament to BGEN’s robust quality assurance processes and dedication to meeting the rigorous standards outlined in Rolls-Royce’s GS3001 document.
Meeting Rigorous Standards
The GS3001 document sets forth extensive Quality Assurance (QA) requirements specifically tailored for the nuclear sector. After a comprehensive assessment, BGEN has demonstrated its capability to meet these stringent standards, earning a place on the Rolls-Royce Approved Supplier List.
This prestigious approval allows us to deliver goods and services for QA Grade 2 and QA Grade 3 projects, which include the fabrication of pipework, steelwork, and general project support.
Understanding QA Grades
The QA grading system defines the level of governance required for a work package, with QA Grade 1 being the most stringent level. Our approval for QA Grade 2 and Grade 3 projects highlights BGEN’s ability to provide high-quality services while ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards.
Strengthening Our Supply Chain
As we move forward, BGEN is committed to engaging further with our supply chain to ensure a thorough understanding of Rolls-Royce requirements for subcontracted work. This proactive approach will help us maintain the highest standards of quality and reliability, reducing risks for Rolls-Royce and enhancing our collaborative efforts.
Enhanced Security Measures
To support our work on Rolls-Royce projects, BGEN employees will undergo enhanced security clearance, specifically BPSS security clearance. This ensures that our team is well-prepared to handle sensitive projects while maintaining the highest level of security and confidentiality.
Recognition and Future Plans
During the assessment, Rolls-Royce commended BGEN on the various controls we have in place, acknowledging our ability to mitigate risks effectively. This positive feedback not only reinforces our reputation as a reliable supplier but also motivates us to pursue further advancements.
Looking ahead, BGEN plans to expand its service offerings within Engineering & Design and Technology to provide the full breadth of our capabilities to Rolls-Royce. Our goal is to develop a deeper supplier partnership, enhancing collaboration and delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the nuclear sector.
Acknowledgements
