Ten consultants signed for £400m Thames Water framework

Costain and Mott McDonald are among firms picked for Thames Water’s Asset, Capital and Engineering Professional Services framework (AMP8).

Thames Water anticipates its capital programme during AMP8 to be triple the size of its existing programme, as it seeks to address the twin challenge of ageing infrastructure and climate change on its assets.  

The framework seeks to reduce supplier capacity risks as the industry ramps up investment.

The works aim to improve, maintain and innovate Thames Water’s water treatment works, sewage treatment works, and the wider water and sewage network. 

The framework has awarded agreements to: 

• AECOM 
• Arcadis 
• AtkinsRéalis 
• Binnies 
• Costain 
• CPC Project Services 
• Jacobs 
• Mott MacDonald 
• Stantec 
• Turner & Townsend 

The contract would be for an initial duration of five years, with options to extend annually up to a maximum overall term of eight years.

Graham Sugrue, Costain framework director, said: “We have an excellent working relationship with Thames Water and we’re looking forward to supporting as it expands its project management office to deliver critical infrastructure upgrades for AMP8 and beyond. 

These upgrades will provide essential water services to millions of Thames Water customers, improving people’s lives and the environment across the region.”

Earlier this year, Costain was awarded contracts to support Thames Water’s upgrade of assets as part of the water company’s Wastewater Asset Assurance Programme, including a  £6.6 million contract to upgrade strategic treatment assets in Hertfordshire, and a design contract to support a new reservoir in Oxfordshire.

Tim Hill, Mott MacDonald, UK Water & Environment General Manager, said: “This appointment marks another milestone in an incredible series of successes on the AMP8 frameworks for UK water companies.” 

Mott MacDonald was among seven consultancies named by Southern Water to steer building and engineering projects across its network as part of a £7.8 billion investment programme. 

Preetinder Dhanoa, Capital Procurement Business Partner at Thames Water, said: “We are delighted to confirm these critical framework awards, which will be used to source asset engineering and capital professional services that are critical to the success of Thames Water’s AMP8 programme. 

This agreement will introduce a number of improvements to our previous arrangements, including driving value through innovation and partnership working.”
