Pump hire specialist, Sykes Pumps has been awarded a one year extension to its Tier 1 framework agreement with Anglian Water with an option for a further extension.
The company has held the pump hire supply framework with Anglian Water since 2006 and re-tendered in 2011 when the original five-year contract expired. Sykes was then awarded a three-year deal with an option for a two year extension and has supplied many temporary pumps to Anglian Water over the past nine years.
The continued framework takes the relationship between the water company and the pump hire specialist forward into the AMP6 infrastructure improvement period and will see Sykes Pumps’ extensive fleet used both for day-to-day maintenance and management and for major schemes. The hire specialist provides a wide variety of pumps to Anglian Water, including diesel super-silenced , electric submersibles and hydraulic submersibles.
Scott Lewis, supply chain professional at Anglian Water commented:
“Sykes Pumps’ wide ranging fleet, local depot network and increasing client support means Anglian Water can be confident that the company will provide professional engagement and a fast response to our sites across the region when required.
“The early part of AMP6 will be an extremely busy period for Anglian Water as we implement a series of asset improvement projects in line with our ‘Love Every Drop’ water optimisation programme and maintaining a reliable & innovative supply chain with key framework providers like Sykes Pumps is central to delivering our goals and meeting the expectations of our customers.”
Craig Nienaber, Business Development Manager for Safe Access Solutions (SAS) at HUBER Technology, explores why the company is seeing a growing level of interest in its safe access solutions for critical infrastructure providers, including their application in wastewater treatment assets.
