Liverpool City Council has selected eight firms for a £850m highways framework to accelerate upgrades across the city.
The four-year Highways Planned Works Framework aims to streamline procurement and deliver a pipeline of resurfacing, active travel, bridge and signal works more efficiently, as Highways News reported in September.
Firms have been split into two value bands for projects up to £1.5m and for jobs over that threshold, according to Construction Enquirer.
The selected firms are:
- Huyton Asphalt Civils
- Dowhigh
- The Casey Group
- J Hopkins (Construction)
- John Sisk & Son
- Eric Wright Civil Engineering
- John Graham Construction
- Aureos Highways
The framework supports Liverpool’s City and Transport Plans that prioritise active travel and sustainable transport. The highways investment programme has already resurfaced over 100,000 sq m of roads and installed more than 100 tactile crossings.
Work starts next week on a full revamp of Princess Drive in West Derby.
Separately, Dowhigh and HA Civils have been handed a £13m highways maintenance contract running up to five years.
