Highways Agency Appoints 26 Firms For Largest Ever Framework
The Highways Agency has announced 26 firms have been appointed to the largest ever framework for the improvement of England's motorways and major A roads.
The firms, selected across four lots, have been appointed to the Collaborative Delivery Framework (CDF).
The framework award is the next step in the delivery of £24bn investment in England's major roads in this parliament, and the next, and represents the government's firm commitment to investing in infrastructure to boost the economy.
Graham Dalton, Highways Agency Chief Executive, said: "This framework is the largest we have ever awarded. It will allow the Agency to deliver large scale improvements to England's strategic roads, enabling economic growth across the country.
"It is not just the scale of this framework that is important, but the way it is designed to bring the Agency, designers and contractors together in one large collaborative team.
"We expect to deliver this major investment programme efficiently, speedily, and with real effort to minimise disruption to road users while we build."
