Network Plus Services Ltd and Envolve Infrastructure have been awarded the Lot 4 Infrastructure Water and Wastewater AMP8 Framework with South West Water.

The framework will be awarded via a formal 50:50 JV founded on the collaborative model the companies have established working closely together on the Bristol Water Network Maintenance Framework since 2019.

Jamie Prichard, Managing Director for Envolve Infrastructure and the Framework Director for the Joint Venture said:

“This award represents a significant success for Envolve Infrastructure and acknowledges the success of our proven collaboration with Network Plus. We will jointly bring our sector leading performance, and the benefit of our Intelligent Partnership developed within Bristol Water, into the South West region. I am extremely proud of the Network Plus Envolve JV which will support South West Water on their AMP 8 aspirations.”

Dan Burgess, Contract Director for Network Plus and Framework Manager for the Joint Venture commented:

“We are delighted to announce that Pennon Group have chosen to expand our working relationship for the delivery of their vital infrastructure programmes across Devon, Bristol & Bournemouth.

The Joint Venture will provide South West Water with a tried and tested delivery model, combining two of the most respected water specialists within the sector. The Joint Venture has secured the Eastern Super Team element of the Framework covering all of Devon, Bournemouth and Bristol.

The framework will run for an initial 6-year period with a further 5-year extension option potentially taking the partnership through to 2035.

Susan Davy, South West Water’s Chief Executive, said:

“These appointments will help turn our plan – the right one for our region – into reality. We’re already tackling the challenges we face, but with greater investment we can go further and faster. We look forward to working with our partners over the years to come as we deliver the projects to meet the needs of the Greater South West.”
