Economics

Turner & Townsend (T&T) and Mace have won a 10-year framework for Severn Trent Water, to support the delivery of over 拢6bn of capital projects.

The framework covers the remainder of the current AMP5 regulatory period, the five-year AMP6 period and part of AMP7.

The consultants will deliver a range of commercial and cost consultancy services on Severn Trent projects.

For AMP6 this includes implementing more stringent service and environmental standards, as well as driving estate efficiencies to help keeping water bill increases below inflation.

T&T currently works with nine of the UK鈥檚 10 largest water companies.

T&T director and UK Water Sector leader, Jason Jones, said: 鈥淥ur demonstrable experience helping blue chip clients to achieve sector leading performance puts us in a perfect position to help Severn Trent Water deliver value to their customers.

鈥淭hrough our programme delivery and performance improvement approaches we support clients to achieve increased levels of efficiency, predictability and effectiveness, contributing to our clients鈥 corporate aims by driving savings as an alternative to bill increases.

鈥淎 number of our clients like Severn Trent have set themselves tough targets for AMP6 - but by a whole life cost and performance focussed approach 鈥 using intelligent programme data, we will work with the companies to deliver these targets.鈥

Mace head of utilities Graham Seage said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to have been appointed to the new 10 year framework, which cements our relationship with Severn Trent Water.

鈥淭his win aligns with Mace鈥檚 utilities strategy to deliver high-quality cost and commercial management services to the sector to help them to meet the challenges that they will be facing in AMP6 and beyond.鈥

The news comes after Severn Trent last month for a further five years.
