“Our vision for AMP7 is to be the most efficient water operation in the industry, and, to achieve that, we’re looking to work with future thinking organisations which can deliver exceptional customer service and provide new ideas to drive us forward.”

The procurement is comprised of two lots and based on a four-region geographical model:

• Lot 1 - Water Network – Temporary Traffic Management (£88 million); and

• Lot 2 - Water Network – Repair and Maintenance (Dig & Fix) and Reinstatement Services(£410 million)

Initial contract term is five years, with further extension options up to 60 months in total into the AMP8 2025-2030 investment period.
