Running for a period of four years, with an option to extend for a further two years, the new Utilities Consultancy Frameworks are aligned to deliver solutions and services to clients considering investment in ports and harbours, rail and metro, nuclear, aviation, water, renewables, energy, and telecommunications.
Clients will have access to a suite of professional services including strategic advice, engineering services, design services, project management and quantity surveying.
Mark Robinson, group chief executive for SCAPE said: “Leveraging strategic advice, innovative design, and efficient project management, SCAPE’s goal is to help the utility sector enhance the delivery of low-carbon infrastructure projects, from unlocking the value of existing assets to navigating the challenges of realising futureproofed, innovative schemes.
“Ultimately, this translates into improved services, economic growth, and a more sustainable future for communities across the UK.”
