Stantec appointed to Thames Water’s £400 million Asset, Capital, and Engineering Framework

LONDON, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TSX, NYSE: STN

Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, has been selected by Thames Water to provide services for its Asset, Capital, and Engineering Professional Services Framework.

The firm has been named as a supplier on five lots on the £400 million framework and will now provide the water company with a range of interdisciplinary engineering, environmental, and program management services throughout asset management period eight (AMP8), spanning 2025-2030.  

Thames Water manages water and wastewater for more than 16 million customers across London and the Thames Valley. Stantec will support Thames Water through this framework, which runs for an initial period of five years, developing robust asset strategies and providing engineering services to tackle challenges throughout AMP8.  

Following its appointment, Stantec can now provide asset strategy, engineering design, environmental, and program and project management support across the entire asset lifecycle of both infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects and programs. 

“Our industry-leading Water team is pleased to continue supporting Thames Water and offer increasing value for customers through their ambitious AMP 8 programs,” said Gord Johnston, president and CEO of Stantec. “The UK water sector faces a number of important challenges, and our team brings proven best practices to not only address these challenges, but also provide benefit for the surrounding communities.”

“We are delighted to confirm these critical framework awards, which will be used to source asset engineering and capital professional services that are critical to the success of Thames Water’s AMP8 program,” said Preetinder Dhanoa, capital procurement business partner at Thames Water. “This agreement will introduce a number of improvements to our previous arrangements, including driving value through innovation and partnership working.”

Stantec’s appointment follows a series of successful framework bids throughout AMP8. Learn more about Stantec’s work on water supply, recycled water projects, water reuse programs, and advanced water treatment projects.
