Severn Trent Water

Project Speed Enhancement:

In a concerted effort to expedite project progress, KAPM Services played an instrumental role in facilitating the acceleration of expenditures for AMP 7. Our team strategically reallocated over £100 million from year 4 into year 3, optimizing budget utilization and resource allocation.

Our meticulously designed workshops served as a catalyst for identifying cost-saving opportunities across waste treatment projects. Collaborating closely with STW’s suppliers, we meticulously crafted robust project schedules and facilitated the seamless execution of contracts between STW and its supplier network.

Recognizing the critical importance of the AMP 7 program’s success, KAPM Services proactively initiated and managed working groups for various project streams, promptly identifying and mitigating potential program derailments. Furthermore, we introduced an enhanced project control system, offering comprehensive oversight and governance for project management.

Addressing Affordability Challenges:

In the face of external economic challenges, including the Ukraine war and soaring inflation rates, numerous projects encountered tender returns that exceeded predetermined budgetary limits, posing a substantial risk to STW’s compliance with the Environmental Agency.

KAPM Services was entrusted with the task of collaboratively reconciling project costs with the predefined affordability envelope. Through a series of intensive Sprint workshops, we meticulously reviewed project scopes, drivers, schedules, and risk allocations. Our systematic approach resulted in significant cost savings, amounting to tens of millions of pounds, and ensured the successful execution of contracts.

Resolving Programme Issues:

Facing delays attributed to affordability concerns, several projects risked missing regulatory deadlines, with suppliers expressing doubts about their deliverability.

KAPM Services intervened with our innovative Programme Sprint processes, strategically formulating delivery strategies for over 60 projects. The outcome speaks for itself – these projects are now either successfully delivered or confidently on track to meet their delivery milestones.

Our sample project for Severn Trent Water exemplifies the tangible impact we make in overcoming challenges, optimizing project efficiency, and ensuring cost-effective, compliant, and successful outcomes. At KAPM Services Limited, we continue to be your trusted partner in achieving excellence in project management.
