The successful tenderer for the estimated £1bn framework deal will need to bring extensive experience in portfolio, programme and project management to deliver major complex infrastructure programmes.

As well as existing water infrastructure upgrades, Anglian Water’s spending plans includes developing two new reservoirs and their associated infrastructure in Cambridgeshire (the Fens Reservoir) and Lincolnshire (the Lincs Reservoir).

To deliver the step increase in volume and complexity of projects the water company has decided to enlist a long term programme delivery partner, which could be a single firm or consortium to operate in a fully integrated team.

A framework launch event will be held online on Thursday 21 November at 9am. Interested firms will need to pre-register here.
