Driving sustainable growth through resilient, low-carbon road infrastructure

DALLAS, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J), in joint venture with AtkinsRéalis, has been appointed by England's National Highways to its third Specialist Professional and Technical Services Framework (SPaTS3) to provide road transport-related engineering and technical advice, research and innovation services.

This framework builds on the foundations of the previous two frameworks – providing National Highways with access to leading technical and engineering capability as it continues to deliver England's Roads Investment Strategy.

The new framework is valued up to $680 million (£495m) over six years with six suppliers in total, including the AtkinsRéalis-Jacobs joint venture. The new framework will provide National Highways access to a range of specialist professional and technical services including strategic transport planning, transport modeling, engineering, sustainability, network resilience and more. It will also enable National Highways to integrate essential social value elements into the delivery of services. The framework can be used by a range of public bodies including the Department for Transport.

Jacobs Senior Vice President Richard Sanderson said: "Resilient, low-carbon strategic road infrastructure is fundamental to England's long-term economic growth, connected communities and a nature-positive environment. Our deep experience with the network and our wider supply chain, enables us to accelerate innovation, enhance efficiency and deliver lasting value to road users."

AtkinsRéalis Market Director – Strategic Highways & Regional Roads, UK & Ireland, Peter Baynham said: "We are entering a pivotal era for highways infrastructure, following new Government investment and long-term plans for transformational and sustainable improvements. We have supported National Highways with innovative solutions through previous SPaTS frameworks, positioning us to continue this work in RIS3. Our combined expertise with Jacobs will help to ensure this investment translates into lasting benefits - boosting economic growth and connecting communities."

Jacobs and AtkinsRéalis have an eight-year record of accomplishment through National Highways' previous SPaTS frameworks, supported by an extensive core supply chain, including Jacobs' strategic partner PA Consulting to bring technology and innovation capability, PwC, Balfour BeattyICS, small and medium-sized businesses, and academic and research organizations. This includes the innovative "Structures Moonshot" project, which is exploring advanced technologies for bridge monitoring and maintenance, a Vehicle Noise Camera trial to help authorities track antisocial driving and vehicle noise pollution, and trials of graphene-enhanced asphalt on the A12 which could extend road materials' lifespan while reducing carbon and advising on the strategic business plan for RIS3. As Environmental and Sustainability Technical Partner, the joint venture is also supporting the delivery of National Highways' Environmental Sustainability Strategy.

Additionally, Jacobs and AtkinsRéalis are members of the Roads Research Alliance, and have achieved PAS 2080:2023 verification for carbon management in infrastructure, demonstrating their systematic approach to helping clients reduce carbon emissions across the entire infrastructure lifecycle.
