Highways Agency sets up support consultancy framework

23 May 11 The Highways Agency has named the selected companies for a new project support consultancy framework.

Joint ventures of Arup/Capita Symonds and Halcrow/Hyder have won places on three of the four lots.

The four year framework is designed to improve the agency’s service by splitting work into specialist areas rather than letting the framework as one contract. The aim is to make it possible for specialist consultancies to compete for work, identify the skills the agency's teams require to manage project delivery more effectively and avoid duplication.

A new performance regime has also developed enabling suppliers on the framework to provide support services through task orders and so enable project milestones to be achieved.

The companies selected for the four lots are:

Integrated highway engineering and technology design consultancy

  • Atkins
  • Halcrow/Hyder JV
  • Jacobs Engineering
  • Mott MacDonald/Grontmij
  • Mouchel
  • URS (Scott Wilson)
