Industrial services firm Programmed has signed a $785 million contract with the Water Corporation to oversee operations, maintenance, and asset management for the Perth region.
The initial contract is for five years and five months, with rolling extensions up to 10 years, five months.
Programmed said the total value of services over the ten-year contract life is estimated to be $785 million.
The contract takes place from February next year, subject to final execution of contracts.
Programmed, which was formerly known as Integrated, won the work from Leighton Holdings subsidiary Thiess and United KG, which held separate contracts for north and south of the river.
Programmed managing director Chris Sutherland said the partnership was a good fit for the company.
“We are very pleased to have this opportunity to form a major integrated alliance with the WA Water Corporation,” he said.
“This contract provides a great opportunity for Programmed to bring all its skills and capabilities from its various business units to bear under one integrated alliance.”
Water Corporation chief executive Sue Murphy said Programmed was selected from a competitive field because of its track record with similar contracts in other parts of Australia.
