30 Second Briefing
AtkinsRéalis has secured a place on Hampshire County Council’s new four‑year Gen5 Consult Transport, Highways & Infrastructure Consultancy Framework, as one of three suppliers on Lot A for multi‑disciplinary civil engineering and highways services. The framework is accessible to public bodies across England, giving AtkinsRéalis a direct route to commissions beyond Hampshire for transport planning, highway design and related infrastructure consultancy. Client director for local transport frameworks Kelly Kilby said the firm will leverage established south of England teams to support connectivity upgrades for businesses and communities.
Technical Brief
- Framework duration is four years, enabling multi-annual programming of transport and highways consultancy commissions.
- Lot A appointment covers multi-disciplinary civil engineering, highways and transportation services under a single procurement route.
- Gen5 Consult framework is cliented by Hampshire County Council but accessible to public bodies across England.
- Similar regional frameworks often underpin asset management, resilience upgrades and safety-led junction improvements over multi-year cycles.
Our Take
AtkinsRéalis has featured repeatedly in recent UK infrastructure awards in our database, including Environment Agency coastal protection and flood-risk management frameworks in June 2026, signalling that Hampshire County Council is tapping a consultant already embedded in national-scale public sector programmes.
With Hampshire in the south of England facing both congestion and climate-resilience pressures, AtkinsRéalis’ concurrent work on Belfast Rapid Transit Phase 2 and the Cockcrow green bridge suggests the council could leverage recent experience in multi-modal corridors and nature-positive highway schemes.
Across the 864 Infrastructure stories in our coverage, only a subset involve county-level frameworks like Hampshire’s; these often act as feeders into larger Department for Transport and National Highways pipelines, so early positioning here can be strategically important for AtkinsRéalis in the wider UK transport market.
