The £1.7 billion framework was awarded in 2020, ahead of the six-year PC21 funding period which commenced from April 2021.
Key to the success of the framework is for NI Water and its supply chain to work closely together to increase collaboration, in order to successfully deliver NI Water’s capital projects efficiently, on time and to help NI Water continue to deliver essential water and sewerage services for customers.
The key themes of the day were centred around Innovation and Climate Change, with presentations given on innovative solutions delivered in recent IF105 projects at Lagan Bridge Syphons Belfast, Ballygawley Wastewater Treatment Works Upgrade and Northern Resilience (Ballinrees, Caugh Hill & Carmoney Water Supply Zones).
The event, which included discussion of continued innovation and collaboration on the framework, was also an opportunity for CEO Sara Venning and Director of Infrastructure Delivery Tzvetelina Bogoina to meet with the supply chain partners.
