Engineering design and construction company Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) has been awarded its first ever long-term framework agreement with Wessex Water.
Following a competitive tendering process, MMB has been named a capital delivery partner on two multi-million-pound ‘lots’ that will see the company deliver projects across the region through to 2030 - with the potential for a five-year extension into AMP9 thereafter.
The framework enables MMB to use its extensive design and construction experience to deliver a scope of work including the construction of new assets and refurbishment, modifications, and maintenance of above and below ground infrastructure.
Wessex Water serves 2.9 million customers with water and sewerage services across the south west of England. Set for record investment in AMP8 – more than double that of AMP7 – MMB will bring its strong track record of innovation and direct-delivery to drive a programme of work to improve water and wastewater treatment, water and wastewater networks, storm overflows, flooding resilience, and bioresources.
Director for MMB, Jonny Burton, said, "We are delighted to sign our first AMP framework with Wessex Water.
"The framework gives us the opportunity to champion the values we share with Wessex Water - collaboration, digital innovation, excellent health and safety practices, and environmental and social responsibility – as we tackle an important programme of works over the next five years.
"This new partnership will allow us to continue our significant investment in the region that is already generating employment opportunities on nearby frameworks with South West Water and Thames Water. We are excited to get going."
In securing these new contracts with Wessex Water, MMB now holds framework agreements with nine of the UK’s largest water and sewerage companies. For details of all opportunities to join MMB’s growing team across the UK – in design, construction and on site - please visit the MMB careers website.
