Leading consultants win share of £57m water framework

Nine consultancy firms have secured places on a £57m consultancy framework for Thames Water.

Mott MacDonald, Arcadis and Atkins and are among the winners on the framework, which is split into five lots and covers a range of services including engineering, commercial and environmental consulting.

As a result of winning places on the framework, the firms now join Thames Water’s professional services register for an indefinite period, although Thames Water say that being on the register does not give any supplier a guarantee of work.
