The Department of Transport (DfT) STARThree Framework, valued at £600m, connects technical and commercial specialists with rail and other transport schemes
Mace has secured a ‘prime’ status across a £600m host of consultancy service packages as part of the DfT’s STARThree Framework.
The framework covers a range of services, including procurement and contracting support, project and programme management, technical guidance and strategic advisory resources.
The STARThree framework aims to meet emerging service requirements in UK transport infrastructure and the DfT’s investment programme.
Mace is one of six ‘prime’ suppliers
The third iteration of the STARThree framework, will see six ‘prime’ suppliers taking on lot-wide remits alongside a host of specialist companies with more targeted briefs.
In their debut position on the framework, Mace will pick up work across strategy, planning and economic forecasting advice; operations and performance advice; commercial advice; infrastructure and asset advice; and project and programme management advice.
Both Network Rail and National Highways are set to benefit from the DfT STARTHree framework initiative
Across the five lot 1 categories, DfT is showing its commitment to responsibly delivering the nation’s transportation network, with social value and decarbonisation marked out as core themes.
Modernising and transforming UK transportation infrastructure
Sean Gray, director for transportation at Mace Consult, commented on the STARThree Framework appointment:
“Securing this new appointment with DfT is a reflection of the growth and success we’ve seen in our UK transportation business over the past few years; it’s further evidence that Mace is established as major multi-modal player in the sector.
“Alongside the opportunity to build on our experience with the likes of Network Rail, National Highways, HS2 and Abellio, we’re looking forward to forging new relationships and showcasing the full scope of our consultancy capabilities, drawing on our delivery expertise to bring new ideas and innovations – such as modern methods of construction – that will help the nation transform its transport infrastructure.”
