Amey has secured a new £35 million contract with the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) Transport and Road Asset Management (TRAM), the authority responsible for Northern Ireland’s transport network, to deliver a wide range of civil engineering consultancy services.
The TRAM engineering services consultancy contract, which will run for three years, with an option to extend for another two, will deliver major and minor highway improvements, active travel schemes, and more sustainable transport infrastructure across the region.
Under the contract terms, Amey will deliver a range of civil engineering consultancy services and associated specialist services. This includes project scoping, feasibility assessments, conducting and implementing preliminary designs, procurement assessments, and site supervision. Additionally, Amey will also support the DfI in providing best value alternatives to traditional professional service procurement on a project-by-project basis as well as sharing and promoting best practice procedures and systems for projects.
This latest contract award builds on Amey’s longstanding partnership with the DfI which dates back to 2005.
Alex Gilbert, Managing Director for Amey, said: “We’re proud to continue our longstanding partnership with the Department for Infrastructure (DfI). This new contract for Transport and Road Asset Management (TRAM) consultancy services builds on nearly two decades of collaboration and highlights our shared commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable transport solutions. Together, we aim to enhance connectivity, support economic prosperity, and improve the everyday lives of communities across Northern Ireland.”
The new contract also follows a successful period of contract wins with the government department, with Amey also recently securing a £30 million contract to deliver water and engineering services across Northern Ireland. The recent inauguration of Amey’s new Consulting office and design hub in Belfast by John O’Dowd, Minister for Infrastructure, Northern Ireland, also further highlights the company’s growing footprint in the region.
