Affinity Water is preparing to go to tender to have a supply chain to deliver the AMP8 and 9 capital works. The AMP8 and 9 regulatory period will run from April 2025 to March 2035. The estimated total value of AMP8 is £450,000,000 and a similar amount for AMP9. The let agreements will run alongside other existing agreements (that will be used to deliver the AMP8 and 9 programmes) which are outside the scope of works and services included in this PIN.
