AtkinsRéalis, Jacobs, Stantec win £80M Hampshire framework: delivery notes for highways engineers

First reported on New Civil Engineer
30 Second Briefing
AtkinsRéalis, Jacobs and Stantec have secured places on Hampshire County Council’s new four-year, £80M transport, highways and infrastructure consultancy framework. The multi-disciplinary lot will cover planning, design and asset management services for local roads, structures and associated civil works across the county’s network. Consultants can expect work on schemes such as junction upgrades, corridor improvements and resilience measures, with framework call-offs likely to favour teams experienced in UK highways standards and whole-life asset strategies.
Technical Brief
- Call-offs likely to bundle feasibility, outline design, detailed design and construction-phase technical support under one appointment.
- Whole-life asset management scope suggests lifecycle costing, deterioration modelling and maintenance prioritisation for Hampshire’s network.
- Consultants will need strong familiarity with DMRB, Manual for Streets and local authority highways adoption standards.
- Resilience work is expected to focus on flood risk, climate adaptation and network redundancy for key corridors.
- Junction and corridor schemes will require integrated modelling of capacity, safety performance and active travel provision.
- Framework scale and duration favour long-term programme-style planning rather than isolated, one-off schemes.
Our Take
AtkinsRéalis is emerging as a core framework player in our UK Infrastructure coverage, with this Hampshire County Council appointment sitting alongside recent long‑term roles for Yorkshire Water’s AMP8 and the Sizewell C civil works.
For Hampshire, bringing in AtkinsRéalis, Jacobs and Stantec aligns the council with the same tier of consultants used on nationally significant schemes like Sizewell C, which typically helps local authorities de‑risk complex highways and flood‑related projects at early design stage.
Our database shows AtkinsRéalis has been strengthening its UK water and housing capabilities (e.g. Yorkshire Water AMP8 and EDAROTH’s social housing work), suggesting the Hampshire framework could also be leveraged for integrated drainage, resilience and place‑making rather than purely stand‑alone transport schemes.
