Southern Water Services Limited has awarded AFECO a place on its Asset Innovation and Optimisation Partner Framework. The Framework will run through AMP6 until March 2020 with an option to extend for a further 5 years through AMP7 until March 2025.

Engineering services company AFECO, a subsidiary of cleantech innovation company EcoGenR8 Limited, has already delivered a number of initiatives for Southern Water that have delivered real business benefits. This Framework will support Southern Water in delivering further benefits by providing a platform through which a range of optimisation initiatives can be delivered.

Working collaboratively with Southern Water’s Optimisation Team, AFECO will utilise the Framework to trial and implement a range of their own proprietary solutions and products as well as working with Southern Water and technology companies to develop and deliver other ideas and concepts.

The award of this Framework demonstrates a recognition of the benefits that asset optimisation and innovation can provide and encourages collaborative working between companies to achieve a common goal of cost and compliance benefits.
