AtkinsRéalis, a world-class engineering services company with offices around the world, has been appointed by Anglian Water Services, in a joint venture with Mace and Turner & Townsend, as Programme Delivery Partner to deliver its £11bn business plan.
The three companies will support its capital investment delivery over the next fifteen years. This will begin with the water company’s biggest ever business plan for Asset Management Period 8 (AMP8), worth £11 billion, which kicked off in April and will continue until 2030.
The £1 billion agreement, which is set to last until the end of AMP10 in 2040, will see a partnership with Anglian Water across its entire investment programme to drive frontier delivery for its customers and the environment. It will see record levels of investment and include major projects such as its two new reservoirs, in the Fens and Lincolnshire.
It is one of the largest contracts of its type offered to date in the water industry, presenting a unique opportunity for AtkinsRéalis and its JV partners to work across Anglian Water’s entire, wide-ranging capital investment programme.
The PDP will work in a fully integrated and collaborative way with Anglian Water to deliver this programme, as well as its subsequent business plans for the following decad
Mike McNicholas, Managing Director for AtkinsRéalis Infrastructure UK&I, said: “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to ensure the delivery of a safe, resilient and clean water supply for millions of people in their homes, schools and businesses for many years to come.
“This will be a truly collaborative approach to draw on an impressive breadth of combined expertise and deployment of resources and services from AtkinsRéalis and our industry partners, and we look forward to working with Anglian Water Services to deliver the biggest programme of works ever planned for the region.”
Andy Alder, Managing Director for Anglian Water’s Major Infrastructure Delivery said: “Throughout the procurement process, it was clear that AtkinsRéalis, Mace and Turner & Townsend bring the right experience to provide a wide range of capabilities across portfolio, programme and major projects.
“As we look to transform our business, with a record investment into our region’s infrastructure worth £11 billion, it’s vital that our new Programme Delivery Partner is committed to working collaboratively with us, and we’re confident that AtkinsRéalis, Mace and Turner & Townsend are the right partners to do that.”
