AECOM, the trusted global infrastructure leader, today announced AMP8 UK Water Frameworks that it has achieved record success on major Water sector wins associated with the UK’s new Asset Management Period 8 (AMP8). In total, the Company has sustained a 100%-win rate on recompete contracts whose expected framework value is more than double the value of the respective frameworks under the prior AMP7 period. In addition, the Company has been awarded several new positions on additional AMP8 frameworks that are expected to further contribute to growth across its UK Water business.
“Our industry-leading expertise has established AECOM as the world’s number one Water design firm, and our recent track record of success on AMP8 frameworks positions us well as we progress against our goal of more than doubling our Water practice over the next five years,” said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global Water business. “We look forward to partnering with the UK’s water utilities to meet their ambitious infrastructure objectives, applying our global, enterprise capabilities to deliver safe, reliable and sustainable water to millions of Britons.”
Administered by Ofwat, the UK’s water services regulation authority, the AMP8 regulatory framework runs from 2025 to 2030 and will include approximately £104 billion, which is 77% greater than the prior AMP7 program period. The program will primarily cover reliability, sustainability and digitalization improvements for water infrastructure in England and Wales.
Recent wins include appointments to major professional service frameworks for Thames Water and Southern Water, and an additional appointment to support Southern Water’s $4.8 billion capital delivery program. This success is underpinned by the trusted technical expertise of the Company’s professionals, who have repeatedly scored maximum marks for quality in tender submissions, and the Company leadership’s direct involvement in the bidding process.
