Transport for London (TfL) has announced that engineering consultancy WSP has been named on its professional services framework. The framework, which was announced last month, covers a range of services including engineering, architecture, and project management, and will see WSP provide expert advice to TfL on major transport projects across the capital.
WSP will be able to bid for individual projects under the framework, which is expected to be worth millions of pounds. The consultancy has a long history of working with TfL, having provided services on several high-profile projects in the past, including the redevelopment of London's King's Cross station.
Commenting on the news, a spokesperson for WSP said: 'We are delighted to have been appointed to TfL's professional services framework. We have a deep understanding of the London transport market and a proven track record of delivering complex projects on time and on budget. We look forward to continuing to work with TfL and delivering exceptional results for the capital.'
The appointment is the latest in a series of major wins for WSP, which has recently secured contracts with a number of major transport authorities across the UK. The company has a strong reputation for delivering high-quality transport projects, and is widely regarded as one of the leading engineering consultancies in the UK.
The news is also a boost for the UK's construction industry, which has been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. The appointment of WSP to the framework is a vote of confidence in the sector, and suggests that TfL is committed to investing in the capital's transport infrastructure.
