Atkins consortium with CH2MHill and Serco pull out of bidding for UK MOD DE&S acquisition competition, as could not achieve a commercially viable business model.At least there'll be no more money, time and effort being wasted on a contract that would have been a loser from the start.

Atkins acquires Singapore based project management business

WS Atkins plc ('Atkins' or 'the Group') has acquired Confluence Project Management Pte. Ltd. ('Confluence'), a project management business with operations in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and India, for a debt-free cash consideration of £8.4m.

Confluence is an international consultancy offering services in the areas of project and construction management, and specialist programming and planning. In the year to 30 June 2013 the company, which employs around 200 people, reported revenue of around £14.5m.

The business' teams in Singapore, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi and India will integrate with Atkins' existing operations in Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The acquisition complements well the Group's Faithful+Gould project and cost management consultancy business and, in particular, augments its presence in the commercial, retail and hospitality sectors.

Prof Dr Uwe Krueger, chief executive officer, commented: "This acquisition is an important further step in the delivery of our strategy to increase our regional focus and grow our business in Asia Pacific and the Middle East. This business brings highly reputed client and sector knowledge and complementary regional presence and capacity to our existing project management business, as well as the ability to service increasingly complex projects for our global clients."

Big potential for Atkins in Defence:A trio of US-led consortiums has formed to bid for Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S). Bechtel Corporation and CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. are fronting two of the groupings that want to run DE&S. Bechtel Corporation has teamed-up with Pricewaterhouse Coopers International Limited, PA Consulting Group Limited and QinetiQ Group Plc (LSE:QQ.). CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd has teamed up with Serco Group plc (LSE:SRP) and WS Atkins plc (LSE:ATK). A third consortium is understood to comprise URS Corporation (NYSE:URS) and KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR), who were expected to bid separately. Philip Hammond told the House of Commons that DE&S itself would be registered as a British company, regardless of the international firms within a winning consortium. He added that the final decision on whether to go ahead with this model would be taken next spring, with an operator to be selected by early 2015.

10% rise today on those strong results, has been battered recently for no reason apart from read-across from BBY.

Book5, your comment has no substance whatsoever, one could quite easily copy and paste this for other companies and just change the name and the share price Unless you can provide more concrete views, nobody will pay attention to you.
