EU-financed Contract Wins

 

WYG, the global project management and technical consultancy, is pleased to announce it has recently been awarded a number of significant new EU-financed contracts in its international development markets worth more than €17m to WYG over the next 4 years, as follows:

· Financed from the General Budget of the European Union under the instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) II, WYG is a 31% participant in a consortium led by Mott Macdonald which has been awarded a contract with an overall value of €7m over 4 years to contribute to the development of a regional energy market and extension of the electricity, gas and transport networks in the Western Balkans region and its connectivity with the EU. The consortium will provide technical and advisory assistance for the preparation of investment projects in the transport and energy sectors, including studies, design and procurement. There is potential for this project (known as CONNECTA) to be extended in duration and scope up to a value in excess of €20m.

 

· In Turkey, where cash collection (including receipts from key global price contracts) has improved as expected, WYG's market leading business has been awarded three new EuropeAid projects with a combined value to the Company of €5.5m - these include projects in our specialist fields of water and enterprise development.

 

· WYG has also been awarded a €3.6m project to assist the reform of Lebanon's National Social Security Fund, which is a significant development in the drive to expand the reach of the business in the Middle East.

 

· In Africa, WYG has been successful in winning a number of new projects including new public sector financial management contracts and contract extensions in Somaliland and Gambia with a combined total value of €2.6m.

 

· In addition, WYG is partnering on a €3.6m project to strengthen relations between the EU and Brazil, to support the EU-Brazil Joint Action Plan 2015-2020.

 

Paul Hamer, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"We are delighted to be working with our consortium partners on CONNECTA, which expands our longstanding programme of work on critical infrastructure and development in the Western Balkans beyond the Infrastructure Projects Facility.

 

"Our continuing successes with the EU in Turkey, Africa and the Middle East demonstrate that there is a vital role for our technical expertise in international development. We continue to see a high quality pipeline of commercially attractive opportunities being tendered. Our well-established local operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa together with our strong UK base and proven ability to deliver complex social programmes, means that we are well placed to extend our record of growth in these regions."
