The eleven companies have been appointed at an earlier stage than is usual – a year ahead - in the AMP process. Early appointment will facilitate a head start on the design and planning work and ensure that construction can begin immediately in AMP5.

“This represents a significant step in our plans to raise standards and drive continuous improvement across our organisation. In our AMP5 plan we have set ourselves challenging efficiency targets, targeting some £200 million of capital efficiencies over the AMP5 period. This new approach will help us to reduce construction costs, enhance links across our supply chain, improve design efficiency, decrease waste and drive innovation.”The eleven appointed companies are Balfour Beatty, Barhale Construction, Biwater Treatment Ltd, Costain, Enterprise, Interserve, LoRImtech, May Gurney, Mott MacDonald Bentley, Morgan Est, and North Midland Construction.
