Barhale appointed to Yorkshire Water’s AMP8 Complex Non-Infrastructure Framework

Barhale has secured its place on Yorkshire Water’s Complex Non-Infrastructure Framework to support delivery of the water company’s capital investment programme through the forthcoming Asset Management Plan 8 (AMP8) period from April 2025 to 2030.

The civil engineering, infrastructure and tunnelling specialist has been appointed to Lot 1 of the AMP8 framework, for complex works, with Yorkshire Water retaining the option to extend for up to a further five years through the AMP9 period.

Delivery of the £850M lot will cover both water and wastewater sites with projects typically ranging from £1m to £35m although with no upper limit.

Project scope includes, although is not limited to: pre-construction survey and investigation; design and construction management; design and build based on client’s concept design; and site works (construction, civils, process, mechanical, electrical, controls and instrumentation).

Services will include, design, construction, civil engineering, and process works, (encompassing mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and telemetry).

The framework will require strong programme management, progress and performance reporting, quality management and commissioning.

Mark Wood, Regional Director (Yorkshire) at Barhale, is looking forward to building on the relationship his team established through AMP7 and to working with Yorkshire Water on its largest-ever capital investment programme.

“There is a very large and exciting plan for the next five years and beyond,” he said. “It will help to improve water quality and network resilience, reduce carbon footprint and enhance bio-diversity and deliver a better customer experience across the region.

“The programme will continue Yorkshire Water’s focus on value, innovation and improved environmental performance. It will build on the legacy established in AMP7 of delivering large-scale improvements to existing infrastructure alongside groundbreaking projects – such as Clifton Wetlands where we were proud to play our part in the creation of a sustainable and low-carbon, nature-based solution that replaced a conventional wastewater treatment facility.

“The long contract term will allow Barhale to continue to grow as a business and to invest in our team. Our graduate programme will have a strong base to build on and as we move into the full design and build sector for civil and mechanical and electrical projects and provides us with the opportunity to become a full multi-disciplinary principle contractor construction business.”

Rachael Fox, head of programme delivery at Yorkshire Water, said:

“We’re looking forward to working with our chosen partners as we embark on an ambitious investment programme from 2025. There’s a big challenge ahead – not only to meet new regulatory requirements, but to meet customer expectations too – and effective collaboration will be key to our success.”

Barhale is joined on the Non-Infrastructure Framework Lot 1 framework by Ward and Burke Construction Ltd, Tilbury Douglas Construction Limited, Mott MacDonald Bentley Ltd, Galliford Try Construction Limited, Kier Integrated Services Ltd, and Glanua Ltd.
