Kier Secures Place on £2.6bn Water Framework

Kier has been awarded a place on both Lots 1 and 3 of Thames Water’s £2.6 billion AMP7 Capital Projects Framework (Runway 2).

Both lots cover North and South London, along with the Thames Valley area and for the AMP7 period, Lot 1 has an estimated overall value of £180 million, with Lot 2 having an estimated value of £170 million.

Lot 1 of the framework is non-infrastructure works, and, covers all works taking place above ground. This includes the refurbishment, replacement, and provision of new potable water and wastewater treatment assets, including service and storage reservoirs. Lot 2 is infrastructure works and covers all underground works and broadly extends from rehabilitation, replacement, and provision of new sewers ad pumping assets to portable water pipelines to inspection and maintenance of aqueducts and tunnels.

The framework has an initial duration of five years, as part of Thames Water’s 2020-2025 AMP7 plans, with an option to extend it for a further five years through to AMP8. Later this year, a further five Lots will be announced as part of this Framework.

Kier will blend its experience within the water market with its ability to deliver major infrastructure projects, to complete works on this framework.

Mark Pengelly, Group Managing Director for Kier Infrastructure, said: “We are pleased to have been appointed to the Thames Water AMP7 Capital Programmes Framework. AMP7 includes a number of complex projects and significant programmes, of which both our Utilities and Infrastructure teams have the combined capabilities to provide the highest levels of project delivery over the next five years. We look forward to delivering new projects through this framework and enhancing the infrastructure for the communities Thames Water serves.”

Group Managing Director for Kier Utilities Barry McNicholas said: “We are delighted to continue our successful partnership with Thames Water following our appointment to its AMP7 Capital Programmes Framework.

“Over the last five years, we have delivered a first-class service to Thames Water and the communities it serves. Working collaboratively with our Infrastructure team, over the next five years, we look forward to utilising our skills and experience to deliver vital infrastructure both above and below ground.”

This latest appointment for Kier builds on their already existing relationship with Thames Water, as the company previously held a place on the £1 billion AMP6 Thames Water Infrastructure Alliance Contract.
