Summary of the contracting process

Southern Water Services Ltd. has launched a strategic procurement for its AMP8 Capital Programme Delivery, aiming to secure a range of supply chain partners for a substantial infrastructure project focusing on water and wastewater systems across Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight. This framework, titled "AMP 8 Framework- Capital Strategic Delivery Partners (SDP)," covers a regulatory period from April 2025 to March 2030, with potential extensions into AMP9. The procurement involves strategic planning, design, and construction management for water and wastewater infrastructure projects, including sustainable, low-carbon solutions. The procurement follows the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, and it has reached the award stage with contracts signed as of November 2024. The programme's comprehensive nature marked by its £6.2 billion value indicates its significance in the sector, with major contractors like Costain Limited, Kier Integrated Services Limited, and MWH Treatment Limited participating as suppliers.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in civil engineering and construction, particularly those specialising in utility infrastructure. The framework allows for flexible engagement across different project scopes, from initial planning to full-scale construction and management, aligning with Southern Water's ambitious regulatory and service goals for the coming decade. Companies with expertise in water and wastewater treatment, pipelines, pumping stations, and environmental solutions are ideally suited to compete. Successful bidders will have the chance to partake in a long-term, high-value programme that not only enhances regional infrastructure but also ensures consistent workstreams and potential for substantial business growth. Key players in engineering consultancy, construction management, and integrated service delivery stand to benefit greatly from this extensive public procurement initiative.
