While the contract is still in standstill until 10 November, AtkinsRéalis, Jacobs UK, Mott MacDonald, WSP UK, Aecom, Amey, Edgeps, Keywest Partnership and Turner & Townsend Infrastructure have all been named as winners.
The appointments will be spread across the following four lots:

Each lot is expected to run for four years from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030.
There were several unsuccessful tenders for each lot.
AECOM, Arup, Pell Frischmann Consultants, Steer Davies & Gleave and Systra all looked for a place on Lot 1, with only AECOM finding a place on the framework in another lot.
WSP UK also made a bid for Lot 2 but, along with Arcadis Consulting (UK), Civic Engineers, Ridge and Partner and Tetra Tech Limited, it failed to secure a spot.
Arcadis Consulting (UK), Ridge and Partners, Gleeds and Mace Consult applied to Lot 3 but were unsuccessful.
Finally, Mott MacDonald, WSP UK and Edgeps all missed out on spots on Lot 4, but all were appointed across the other three lots.
