Yorkshire Water award £250m extension to repair and maintenance contract

Morrison Utility Services (MUS) has won a £250m, three-year contract extension from Yorkshire Water.

MUS is now contracted to help carry out maintenance and repair work to Yorkshire Water’s 31,000 kilometre clean water network.

The extension involves MUS acting as the sole service provider for the repair of water mains across the region, as well as installing water meters and carrying out street works. This will involve attending over 100,000 call outs per annum.

MUS, whose northern office in Batley, has hundreds of technicians employed to deliver these services for Yorkshire Water.

David Stevenson, head of water distribution at Yorkshire Water, said: “We are very pleased to award a three year extension of our Water Service Agreement contract to Morrison Utility Services.

“This is testament to the strength of our relationship with MUS and our trust in their ability to deliver the best possible service for our customers at the best price with the highest levels of safety.”

The three-year contract extension has been awarded to MUS two years ahead of schedule, bringing the total remaining duration to five years.

Charles Morrison, chief executive at Morrison Utility Services, commented: “We are delighted to have been awarded this three year contract extension as sole partner for Yorkshire Water’s Water Service Agreement contract.

“We look forward to building upon the collaborative working relationship that we share with our client and our aim now is to continue to develop safe, cost-efficient and innovative ways of working that will deliver a positive customer experience across Yorkshire Water’s operational territory.”
