Yorkshire Water picked its seven partners for a £850m framework delivering complex non-infrastructure works.
Barhale, Galliford Try, Glanua, Kier, Mott MacDonald Bentley, Tilbury Douglas, and Ward & Burke will deliver on the utility’s increased investment in non-infrastructure clean and wastewater assets over the next five years.
This framework is part of Yorkshire Water’s AMP8 investment programme, its largest-ever environmental initiative, which has been approved by regulator Ofwat at £8.3bn.
The firms will provide a mix of civil engineering, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation and building capability.
Rachael Fox, head of programme delivery at Yorkshire Water, said: “We’re looking forward to working with our chosen partners as we embark on an ambitious investment programme from 2025.
“There’s a big challenge ahead – not only to meet new regulatory requirements, but to meet customer expectations too – and effective collaboration will be key to our success.”
Andy Lingham, managing director for Kier’s water business, said: “This appointment builds on the strong, collaborative relationship we’ve developed with Yorkshire Water over the past five years since the start of AMP7.
“This continued partnership reflects the trust we’ve built and our shared commitment to delivering resilient and sustainable water infrastructure.”
