Thames Water has concluded a £400m Asset, Capital and Engineering Professional Services framework procurement exercise to support its infrastructure upgrades over the next five years (2025-2030).
Thames Water anticipates its capital programme during AMP8 will be up to three times 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 has sought to reduce supplier capacity risks as the industry ramps up investment and provide our suppliers with clarity about upcoming project requirements. It will give Thames Water access to Engineering, Environmental, Commercial and Programme Management Professional Services worth up to £400m as it works to improve, maintain and innovate its Water Treatment Works, Sewage Treatment Works, and the wider water and sewage network.
Thames Water said the framework has sought to innovate the way it operates with its supply chain, to encourage collaboration across suppliers and extend best practice learnings back into Thames Water.
The framework has awarded agreements to the following companies:
- AECOM
- Arcadis
- AtkinsRéalis
- Binnies
- Costain
- CPC Project Services
- Jacobs
- Mott MacDonald
- Stantec
- Turner & Townsend
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.
“We have proposed a highly ambitious business plan for 2025-2030 based on customers’ feedback and insight. Our plan will deliver a reliable, secure and affordable service for customers, while further materially improving Thames Water’s environmental footprint, and the establishment of a supplier framework sets the company up for successful delivery.”
