The partnership agreements span up to 12 years, commencing immediately, following a competitive tender process that established eight-year frameworks.
Northumbrian Water assets director Monisha Gower said: “The market has never been so competitive, when it comes to adding the best partners and people to our team in the run-up to AMP8.
“We have had to be agile and move fast, employing innovation throughout our procurement practices, and it has paid off, building our new stable of partners and creating the capacity we need for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”
Northumbrian Water’s LWE is poised to play a pivotal role in fulfilling the company’s upcoming business plan commitments.
The group will adopt a total expenditure approach, focusing on the full life cycle of assets to promote smarter spending and risk-based planning.
