The largest investment in UK water infrastructure in history. Water Industry Hub is the intelligence platform built specifically for the supply chain delivering it.
AMP8 runs from April 2025 to March 2030 and covers every water company in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. It was determined by Ofwat's PR24 process and represents more than double the investment of any previous AMP cycle.
For the first time, water companies face financial penalties if they miss AMP8 targets — which means procurement is moving faster, frameworks are opening earlier, and the supply chain is under pressure to respond at pace.
Storm overflow improvements. Lead pipe replacement. Treatment works upgrades. Network digitalisation. Smart metering. Every one of these programmes creates procurement opportunities for the supply chain — if you know where to look.
