Jacobs Secures New Framework Deal With Lancashire County Council

Lancashire County Council has awarded Jacobs Enginering a third term as a framework provider of professional consultancy services across highway, transportation and related scheme development.

The new contract includes civil engineering (highway, bridges and drainage designs), geotechnical, landscape and ecology services. In addition, the company will provide diverse services relating to traffic modelling and transport planning services, project management and grant bid preparation.


Since 2008, Jacobs has worked closely with the Council delivering a comprehensive range of multi-disciplinary engineering services related to Lancashire’s transport network. These have included key projects such as the Heysham to M6 Link road, the Preston Western Distributor, the Preston Surface Water Management Plan, Fylde coast rail study and significant business case and funding projects.

Jacobs Senior Vice President, Buildings and Infrastructure, Bob Duff, said: "Working alongside Lancashire’s team for a third term, not only through the delivery of significant ongoing services, but to assist in development of future projects and programmes, ensures we can help bring local growth and prosperity to the County.

"This extension is a testament to the hard work and knowledge of our people and further validates Jacobs leadership in transportation in the U.K. and around the world."
