Amey awarded £113M Yorkshire Water contract

Region’s sewer pipes will be repaired and maintained.

Amey has won an £113M contract with Yorkshire Water to work on the region’s waste water services.

Starting at the end of September, Amey will deliver these services in order to repair and maintain the approximately 20,000 miles of sewer pipes.

A leading public and regulated services provider with more than 21,000 employees, Amey’s contract expands the Company’s presence in the north of England and a relationship already exists with Yorkshire Water.

Having worked for Yorkshire Water for the last five years, Amey’s new contract will see sewer pipes maintained that transport waste water to as many as 600 treatment works in the area from almost two million homes in the region.

Set to run to 2020, the £113M contract adds to the Yorkshire Water Framework that sees Amey deliver non-infrastructure projects in Yorkshire.

Mel Ewell is the CEO at Amey and he said this announcement shows the ‘strength’ of the Company’s relationship with Yorkshire Water.

He said: “The awarding of this contract to Amey is testament to the strength of our relationship with Yorkshire Water and their trust in our ability to deliver services to the highest possible standards as well as our considerable experience in the waste water industry.

“We are delighted to expand the scope of our work with Yorkshire Water. Both our organisations will work together to improve essential services and provide an outstanding customer experience across the region.”

Amey is no stranger to the region, given the experience of delivering infrastructure projects for Calderdale Council as well as providing facilities management in Bradford.

Expected to deliver the best service for customers at the best price, Amey’s new contract has an option for extension past the end date of April 2020.

Yorkshire Water’s Director of Service Deliver, Charlie Haysom, explains the need for the project.

“This major contract has been designed to deliver the best possible service for our customers at the best price with the highest levels of safety,” he said.
