i In response to the slowdown, Anglo American developed and put into action a Social Response Plan to support the project workforce potentially facing redundancy, including its own and contractor staff. 330 people access support through the programme. ii YH and NE Because of the challenges of 2020-21, to avoid putting additional administrative burden on its contractors (especially the smaller ones), Anglo American reduced the scope of its survey to focus only on its three largest Tier 1 contractors. As a result, the 2020 numbers for supply chain expenditure (which impacts on GVA calculations and indirect and induced jobs) only capture 64% of contractor activity, meaning the projections are conservative and underestimate the actual economic contribution that the Woodsmith Mine made during this time (by up to a third).
For 2025, 19% of supply chain spending is known in terms of total £ but not by location. It is therefore excluded from the assessment of regional supply chain impact to ensure a conservative approach.
iii Including labour and including land costs and rent and permit charges for 2025 iv Full time equivalent permanent role based on one job equating to 10 person years of employment
