Jacobs (J), in joint venture with AtkinsRealis, has been appointed by England’s National Highways to its third Specialist Professional and Technical Services Framework to provide road transport-related engineering and technical advice, research and innovation services. This framework builds on the foundations of the previous two frameworks – providing National Highways with access to leading technical and engineering capability as it continues to deliver England’s Roads Investment Strategy. The new framework is valued up to $680M over six years with six suppliers in total, including the AtkinsRealis-Jacobs joint venture. The new framework will provide National Highways access to a range of specialist professional and technical services including strategic transport planning, transport modeling, engineering, sustainability, network resilience and more. It will also enable National Highways to integrate essential social value elements into the delivery of services. The framework can be used by a range of public bodies including the Department for Transport.
