Southern Water Awards £540m Contracts
Southern Water has awarded contracts worth a combined £540 million to three companies, aimed at enhancing wastewater network performance across the South East.
The agreements are part of the utility provider's preparations for the 2025-30 industry spending period.
The work is divided into four key lots:
• Lanes Group will oversee maintenance and manhole workstreams.
• Cappagh Browne will lead sewer rehabilitation projects.
• McAllister Bros will focus on sewer sealing initiatives.
The contractors will deliver essential frontline sewer services, including emergency response and sewer rehabilitation, while collaborating with Southern Water to enhance environmental performance and customer service.
Southern Water’s Head of Wastewater Networks, Alex Saunders, said: "We are delighted to have secured partnerships with industry leading suppliers who are experts in their respective technical disciplines. These agreements prepare Southern Water to meet the service levels expected by our customers and will help us to deliver on our environmental improvement ambitions for years to come."
The contracts will start in April 2025, spanning all five years of the spending period known as AMP8 (Asset Management Period 8), with the potential for contract extensions.
