The framework has awarded agreements to the following companies:

• AECOM

• Arcadis

• AtkinsRéalis

• Binnies

• Costain

• CPC Project Services

• Jacobs

• Mott MacDonald

Preetinder Dhanoa, Capital Procurement Business Partner at Thames Water, said: "We are delighted to confirm these critical framework awards, which will be used to source asset engineering and capital professional services that are critical to the success of Thames Water's AMP8 programme. This agreement will introduce a number of improvements to our previous arrangements, including driving value through innovation and partnership working."

We have proposed a highly ambitious business plan for 2025-2030 based on customers' feedback and insight. Our plan, if approved, will deliver a reliable, secure and affordable service for customers, while further materially improving Thames Water's environmental footprint, and the establishment of a supplier framework sets the company up for successful delivery.
