HIGHWAYS

We bring a wealth of experience in the highways sector, spanning major projects and maintenance contracts.

Our experience extends to commissions with major clients such as Highways England, TfL Streets, and Local Authorities, as well as with our valued clients in the Philippines. Specifically, we excel in the procurement, tendering, and execution of highway maintenance contracts.

Our track record includes involvement in major motorway maintenance contracts with Highways England from both contractor and consultant standpoints, as well as procuring highway maintenance contracts for TfL Streets and local authorities. Moreover, we have provided invaluable support to our clients in securing successful tenders for highway maintenance contractors.

RAIL

We have been supporting certain Train Operating Companies to procure contractors for depot upgrade works to accommodate a new fleet of rolling stock. 

From the development of the (regulated) procurement strategy to the award of contract and the provision of continued contractual support we have guided our clients through the intricacies of project procurement in this environment.

To meet challenging project timelines combined with uncertain design solutions we developed a bespoke Early Contractor Involvement strategy that allowed us to enter contract earlier than via a traditional procurement thus enabling us to de-risk the programme through the collaborative working.

We have also been providing services into the HS2 project in respect of materials by rail. Working with a main contractor we developed a material by rail model that allowed the creation of a marketplace for the competitive tendering of train operations. 

We also provide commercial services to various contractors in the rail (both Network Rail and London Underground) industry, including contract appraisal and dispute resolution.
