Aecom selected by two contractors to support Southern Water's $4.8B program.

AECOM announced it has been selected by two contractors to support Southern Water's $4.8B capital delivery program. The selection is the latest from Southern Water, a major UK water utility, as it readies the supply chain to deliver a range of infrastructure and wastewater programs across the AMP8 period, between 2025 and 2030. AECOM will serve as a detailed design partner to Kier, alongside Pell Frischmann, in its recent selection to Southern Water's Strategic Delivery Partner (SDP) Framework, working with Kier on Lot 1 for non-infrastructure water projects and Lot 2 for non-infrastructure wastewater projects. Following their selection to Southern Water's SDP Lot 3 Framework for infrastructure projects, and Low Complexity Delivery Route Lot 2 Framework, Morrison Water Services has also asked AECOM to be its sole design partner on both the frameworks. The frameworks run for seven and five years, respectively, with the option to extend for an additional five years. AECOM will support optioneering, outline and detailed design across water and wastewater projects that help advance positive outcomes for customers, communities and the environment.
