Water & Wastewater Treatment

6 ALLIANCES 2020 The @One Alliance was brought together in 2004 aer Anglian Water recognised that its traditional approach to procuring projects in the market was unlikely to be able to deliver the improvements in performance required by shareholders and Ofwat. As a result, the company formed an alliance with consultants and contractors to enable them to collaborate with their key suppliers to develop better solutions to their infrastructure needs and improve performance. "When we formed our first alliance of engineering companies in 2004, it was a new approach within the construction and water sectors," Anglian Water said in its PR19 business plan. "The @One Alliance took us away from the traditional project-by- project client and supplier relationships found in the rest of our industry, to true, decade-long partnerships with collaboration at their heart. "In 2015, having proved the success an alliancing model could bring, we pushed on, launching 15-year contracts with our partners and introducing a completely new system of incentivising them for their work. Partners in @One now only make a return when they outperform. If they underper- form, the opposite is true. "This total incentivisation model is unique, and with the strong relationships and security of 15-year contracts, it means the @One partners need – and want – to invest and innovate. They have a vested interest in finding new, more efficient ways of working – all of which ultimately benefits our customers and helps keep bills low. Alliancing is now held up as best practice, and has become a model many organisations want to adopt."

Anglian Water adopted Project 13 principles in a number of areas – including focusing and engaging on customer outcomes, understanding the capabili- ties that can add value in delivering outcomes, and rewarding out-performance rather than work. • SALES • RENTAL • MAINTENANCE • • REFURBISHMENT • SPARE PARTS • QUALITY PRODUCTS & SERVICES Euroby Ltd New Dawn House, Gorse Lane, High Salvington, Worthing, Sussex BN13 3BX T - 01903 69 44 00 F - 01903 69 44 77 E - sales@euroby.com www.euroby.com SUPPLIERS OF LIQUID AND SOLID SEPARATION TECHNOLOGIES TO THE WATER AND INDUSTRIAL MARKETS Flottweg centrifuge technology Craft beer clarifier Mobile/contract dewatering Filter press technology and spares Euroby ad 130 x 180 2019 8/10/19 14:01 Page 1
