To provide cable management and distribution services for EDF Energy Networks
CEVA Logistics, a supply chain management company, has bagged a contract to provide cable management and distribution services for EDF Energy Networks. The five-year contract is worth GBP2m per annum.
Following the contract, CEVA would provide cable management and distribution services on behalf of EDF Energy Networks and would also provide the company with a 24/7 emergency call-out service for requirements.
This operation would involve receipting cable drums at a secure location in Childerditch, Essex, and managing all third party contractual requirements, including the supply of full cable drums, the cutting of cable to smaller coils and the capping, taping and supplying of issued lengths. CEVA will also re-drum required lengths to smaller drums using automated cable cutting machinery. CEVA implemented the contract as a zero defect start-up operation (ZDS), said the company.
