Kier Named Preferred Bidder For Anglian Water Contracts

Kier has been named preferred bidder for two new long-term contracts with Anglian Water under its AMP6 programme, with a combined total value of up to £130m. Both contracts start in 2015 and are expected to run for 15 years.

The company has been chosen to deliver Anglian Water's AMP6 Integrated Metering and Developer Services (IMDS) contract, valued at up to £12m a year. Together with Clancy Docwra, the contract will cover the whole Anglian Water region for both Metering and Developer Services, as opposed to the current east/west split that exists for the AMP5 Metering framework. The contract is expected to be formally awarded in the summer, with the focus over the coming three months on initiative development, business planning and work allocation.


Kier has also been selected as one of three contractors to deliver Anglian Water's Integrated Operational Solutions (IOS). The contract is worth approximately £70m over five years, with an extension of a possible 10 years, and will start in April 2015. The IOS contract works will include appraisal and feasibility studies, preliminary and detailed design, construction and installation of components.

It will also cover asset refurbishment, demolition, dismantling and decommissioning, as well as maintenance of the corporate asset and cost data for both water and water recycling assets.
