Good news for infrastructure fans: AECOM (one of the big players in architecture and engineering) has just secured a spot on the Specialist Professional & Technical Services Framework (SPaTS3) run by National Highways. In simple terms, this means that AECOM is now officially approved to help deliver professional and technical services for the UK's major road network projects.
That framework is like a vetted list of trusted suppliers that National Highways calls upon when planning and building new roads or improving existing ones. With AECOM now on that list, we can expect that they'll be involved in upcoming highway upgrades and national infrastructure work.
