Ofwat obligations pre-loaded. Project templates pre-built. Regulatory packages delivered to your MaxWater instance before the AMP period even starts. This is programme management without the setup pain.
Veriland publishes structured regulatory packages for each AMP period \u2014 AMP7, AMP8, and AMP9. Each package translates Ofwat's final determination into pre-built obligation registers, project templates, milestone structures, and reporting codes. Subscribers receive automatic updates as Ofwat guidance evolves. No manual interpretation. No three-month setup projects. Just activate and go.
Most water companies spend months interpreting Ofwat’s final determination and manually building obligation registers. MaxWater subscribers don’t. Veriland’s regulatory team translates every AMP determination into a structured Regulatory Package — a pre-built configuration of obligations, output definitions, milestone templates, and reporting structures. When AMP8 went live, the package was already there. 47 determined outputs for this company, pre-mapped to project templates and Ofwat reporting codes. The programme director reviews the register and activates the obligations assigned to their region. Setup time: one afternoon, not three months.
A new scheme is initiated: upgrade Greenfield WTW to meet tightening phosphorus limits by March 2028. Because the regulatory package has already defined the obligation template, the project record comes pre-populated with the regulatory driver, Ofwat output reference, target completion date, and required evidence for completion. The project manager adds site-specific detail — budget envelope, key risks, stakeholder contacts — and baselines the milestones: design, planning consent, procurement, construction, commissioning. The structure was there before they started.
Each milestone carries an earned value weight. The project manager updates progress via MaxWAM on-site or through the desktop portal. MaxWater calculates Schedule Performance Index (SPI) and Cost Performance Index (CPI) automatically. This project sits at SPI 0.92 — slightly behind schedule. The system flags it amber and shows the forecast slip: 6 weeks against the baseline. But here’s the difference — the programme director sees this today, not at the next quarterly review. Early visibility means early intervention.
A planning consent delay pushes the construction start by 8 weeks. The project manager logs it as a risk event in MaxWater. The system recalculates the critical path automatically and shows the knock-on impact: commissioning now lands in Q1 2029, 9 months past the Ofwat deadline. This triggers an automatic escalation to the programme board. The alert includes: the original timeline, the revised forecast, the regulatory consequence of missing the deadline, and three mitigation options with cost and schedule impact for each.
The monthly programme board pack is generated automatically. Every active project is shown against its Ofwat obligation, with RAG status, forecast completion vs regulatory deadline, cost vs budget, and key risks. No manual PowerPoint assembly — the data is live. When the programme director presents, the board can drill into any project from the pack. Questions like “what happens if we defer the Northfield upgrade?” get real-time answers, because the portfolio model is always current.
MaxWater tracks contractor performance against framework KPIs: safety record, quality scores, programme adherence, defect rates, and environmental incidents. When the Greenfield project needs additional civils capacity, the system shows which framework contractors have availability and how they’ve performed on similar schemes. The procurement team doesn’t rely on reputation — they have data. Over time, this builds a performance baseline that feeds into contract renewals and framework re-tendering.
At year-end, MaxWater produces the regulatory output report: what was committed in the determination, what’s been delivered, what’s in flight, and what’s at risk. The assurance team can trace every claimed output back to the project record, milestone evidence, commissioning certificate, and financial close-out. When Ofwat’s technical reporters come for their annual review, the audit trail is already there. Every obligation, every project, every milestone — linked, evidenced, and ready.
As AMP8 winds down, Veriland’s regulatory team is already preparing the AMP9 Regulatory Package. Based on early signals from Ofwat’s PR29 methodology consultations, the draft package outlines likely new obligations, expected output categories, and emerging regulatory themes. MaxWater subscribers get early access — allowing them to start shadow-planning AMP9 schemes 18 months before the final determination. When the determination lands, they don’t start from scratch. They activate. Veriland publishes regulatory packages for AMP7, AMP8, and AMP9 — each one a living document, updated as Ofwat guidance evolves.
Every Ofwat obligation mapped to a project. Every project tracked with earned value. Every risk visible before it becomes a crisis. Regulatory packages that do the setup for you.
