Southern Water

Contract Set Up and Mobilisation

Southern Water’s capital construction programme, known as AMP 4, ran between 2005 and 2010. Worth approximately £650m, it was awarded under a target cost contract arrangement to a newly formed joint venture 4Delivery (a joint venture between Costain, United Utilities, MWH).

The Orange Partnership was requested to review the contract and work with both Client and Contractor to drive understanding, transparency and definitions of contract cost during the initial mobilisation period.
