Mott MacDonald has been appointed as a major local supplier to Southern Water’s AMP8 Professional Services framework. Under the framework, it will be developing new approaches to managing and maintaining Southern Water’s clean and wastewater facilities, and successfully implementing new technology and innovation to deliver Southern Water’s vision.
