Southern Water has awarded a contract worth between £100m-£200m to MWH to manage its upcoming £3.2bn investment programme between 2015-2020.
MWH’s role as strategic solutions partner (SSP) will be to provide support during the definition, feasibility, preferred option identification and outline design stages of AMP6 projects.
In addition to its main role of developing the most cost-efficient and sustainable options to meet the utility’s performance goals, the strategic solutions provider will directly oversee the work carried out by up to four design and build delivery partners over the AMP6 period.
The SSP will support all programmes of work including water infrastructure, water non-infrastructure, waste-water infrastructure and waste-water non-infrastructure. Five companies were in the bidding for the AMP6 contract, which includes a further five year extension option . The tender document valued the contract at between £100m to £200m, subject to the final AMP6 determination from water industry regulator Ofwat.
Successful contractors for the work, which will be split between pipeline infrastructure and a separate arrangement for water, waste water and pumping station building works, will be named in July.
The design and build contract is currently out to tender.
Last week MWH was named as one of six capital delivery partners for Anglian Water’s AMP6 Integrated Main Works Capital (IMWC) Alliance which will develop and deliver solutions for its £1.3bn water and wastewater infrastructure and non-infrastructure assets programme.
Prior to that MWH was selected by Severn Trent Water as one of three consultants for its new 10 year engineering consultancy framework spanning both AMP6 and AMP7 investment periods - the contract commenced in August 2013.
