Northumbrian Water names AMP6 winning bidders

Northumbrian Water has named the four winning contractors to deliver the AMP6 framework.

An Esh Construction and MWH Joint Venture, Integrated Water Services, Interserve and Mott MacDonald Bentley will carry out planned maintenance work on Northumbrian Water’s network over the ten-year contract.

Works on the contract range from short term flood damage mitigation to long term, large scale capital projects designed to improve overall asset infrastructure.

John McGovern, Northumbrian Water Group’s Head of Asset Delivery, said:

“These partnership agreements clearly demonstrate our commitment to providing our customers, who rely on us every day, with an excellent service and to protecting the environment. The contracts will boost the economy of our region and of the local communities we serve and will also support employment.

“We are working closely with all companies involved to ensure the smooth transition of contracts and we look forward to working with those appointed. Having long-term framework agreements in place will enable better planning, relationship building and the transfer of in-depth knowledge and skills. As a result of the security that this work brings, those who have won contracts will also be able to further invest in their own businesses, people and systems.”

Stephen Wilkie, Regional Managing Director of Esh Construction, based in County Durham, said: “We are proud and delighted to have been awarded this contract together with our colleagues at MWH, especially as our working partnership goes back for more than ten years.

“This contract extends our working relationship with Northumbrian Water with whom we have worked for over 20 years and is in addition to another contract – delivering reactive wastewater maintenance services – which we won earlier this year.”

Cath Schefer, Managing Director of MWH UK said: “We’re delighted with our appointment to this framework contract with our partners Esh. It is a great opportunity to bring our complementary capabilities to meet the challenges of AMP6 and the Totex environment. We look forward to working collaboratively with the other framework partners to drive efficiencies and ‘best in class’ customer service.”

Northumbrian Water Group supplies 2.7 million people with water and waste water services in the North East and 1.8 million people with water services in Essex and Suffolk.
