Mace has agreed a five-year contract to provide programme and project management services to Affinity Water over the next five years.

The consultancy and construction business said the 拢25m deal - which also involves design and delivery services, commercial management and planning expertise - represented a re-appointment with Affinity for the latest water-industry regulation period, known as Asset Management Programme 6 (AMP6).

Affinity, which provides water in parts of London and the Home Counties, said no other firms were involved with its service-provider framework.

Asset-management director Stephen Martin said Mace had demonstrated an ability to make the utility firm successful.

鈥淟ast year we developed a creative and ambitious business plan that sets new standards for the way we will deliver high quality water for our communities over the next five years,鈥� he said.

鈥淚 look forward to building on this established relationship as we continue to work on achieving the commitments we have made to our communities.鈥�

Mace chief executive Mark Reynolds, pictured, said securing the service provider role was 鈥渁 significant milestone鈥�.

Affinity said its AMP6 plan would see more than 拢500m invested in infrastructure between 2015 and 2020.
