At Mott MacDonald we believe that any partnership calls for a
complete culture of co-operation, collaboration, and continuous
improvement, all geared towards attaining mutual objectives and
best value. Whilst we have always strived to build close
relationships based on trust and teamwork with all our clients, a
formal partnering arrangement takes this a stage further, nurturing
interaction between private and public sector expertise through
total openness and trust. We are successfully delivering enhanced
services through partnering arrangements of a variety of types
across all sectors of our core markets.
Teamwork has been vital in our partnership with contractor JN
Bentley, helping Yorkshire Water Services' (YWS) programme of water
and wastewater schemes in both AMP3 and AMP4. Mott MacDonald
Bentley (MMB) combines the technical design expertise of Mott
MacDonald with the local construction knowledge of JN Bentley to
provide a single-point service for solution delivery to YWS. This
close partnership between client, designer and contractor is based
in dedicated offices in Skipton and Bradford. As a result we’ve
developed an excellent working relationship – and a very efficient
project delivery process. MMB has been consistently voted best
Capital Solutions Partner (CaSP) since the inception in 2000. As
part owner of MMB we have demonstrated our willingness to take on
contracting risk.
Our proven track record with Yorkshire Water contributed to our
success in securing an AMP4 Special Projects Framework with Anglian
Water, where we are working with both contractors and client to
deliver a £150 million programme of large specialist projects, both
water treatment and transfer as well as four advanced biosolids
treatment plants.
In Scotland, we have worked in partnership with two other
consultants in Q&SII to provide consultancy services across the
entire country. This ranged from co-ordination of recruitment and
resourcing through to bidding for projects together and exploiting
the significant resource base available as a result of the
partnership.
