South West Water (SWW) has awarded a contract to North Midland Construction Plc (NM Group) for the Civil Engineering K7 Capital works framework.

The K7 (2020-2025) framework will move to a design and build arrangement for all major capital schemes and see NM Group initially working alongside Balfour Beatty and Interserve as they complete a small number of legacy projects by March 2020.

The scope includes the provision of civil engineering works, building works and incidental mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, controls and automation works in connection with the construction, extension, refurbishment, alteration and/or demolition of the low groundwater and sewerage infrastructure within the South West Water catchment area.


South West Water's engineering delivery alliance, H5O, is also joined by Nomenca Limited, a subsidiary of NM Group, which along with Kier, Northavon and Tecker is responsible for the design and construction of all MEICA aspects of the capital programme and support operations on a reactive basis.

Managing Director for Nomenca Limited, Andy Langman, commented: "This is a fantastic opportunity for the Group and our South West business. It not only builds on our recent MEICA Framework award but provides a strong platform for future growth and long-term sustainability in the South West region."
