Amey Consulting, in collaboration with Capita, has been appointed by Highways England to the Specialist Professional & Technical Services 2 (SPaTS2) framework
Securing a place on Lot 1 of the SPaTS2 framework, Amey Consulting will provide technical advisory and consulting services to Highways England over the next four years to help them deliver £27.4bn of investment in the Strategic Road Network during road period two, running from 2020.
The consortium brings together a diverse range of organisations, capable of bringing the breadth and depth of expertise Highways England will need to ensure safer, smoother and more reliable journeys for the 4 million users that rely on its roads each day.
The success builds on recent wins with Highways England as the design services consultant in Area 10, design partner on the A66 Northern TransPennine Upgrade and as their data science partner.
