ATKINSREALIS TO SUPPORT THE DELIVERY OF MAJOR UK INFRASTRUCTURE ACROSS MULTIPLE GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC SECTOR PROGRAMS

Atkinsrealis Group Inc. has been named as a supplier on a major United Kingdom government framework to support the design, delivery, and optimization of major infrastructure and building programs across the built environment, defence and nuclear sectors over the next four years.

The U.K. Government Commercial Agency (GCA)'s Construction Professional Services 2 framework provides a direct route for central government departments and public sector bodies to access multidisciplinary services across the full life cycle of projects.

Appointment to seven lots of the 3.5-billion-pound-sterling framework enables Atkinsrealis to deliver integrated solutions for complex projects through multidisciplinary services in engineering, design, advisory and program management.

The framework, potentially worth an estimated 340 million pounds sterling to Atkinsrealis, covers the full life cycle of public sector projects -- including support for the U.K.'s defence estate and wider national security priorities, as well as playing a vital role across the U.K.'s nuclear decommissioning programs.

"This framework is a key route for government and public sector bodies to deliver the U.K.'s most critical infrastructure, defence, nuclear and environmental programs over the coming years," said Ian L. Edwards, president and chief executive officer, Atkinsrealis. "The strong position secured by Atkinsrealis reflects our ability to deliver complex programs and our depth of experience across multiple sectors, underlining our position as a truly end-to-end engineering services provider."

Atkinsrealis has been appointed to the following lots:

• Lot 1: general infrastructure and built environment;
• Lot 3: project management;
• Lot 5: defence;
• Lot 8: nuclear;
• Lot 9a, 9b and 9c: flood risk and asset management.

"This appointment comes at a time of sustained investment in U.K. infrastructure, defence, energy and environmental resilience," said Chris Ball, president, United Kingdom and Ireland, Atkinsrealis. "We are well positioned across multiple lots to bring our integrated, multidisciplinary expertise to help clients deliver complex projects at pace, more efficiently, sustainably and safely. The delivery of critical infrastructure is essential in supporting growth and our U.K. teams are ready to play a leading role in its modernization and upgrade across the built environment, nuclear and defence sectors."

The latest appointment reflects Atkinsrealis's depth of infrastructure expertise across multiple sectors of the built environment and follows the recent inclusion on three Crown Commercial Service (now GCA) frameworks spanning various services. Atkinsrealis has worked closely on the U.K. government estate for many years including programs for the government property agency and has a well-established position in the nuclear sector working for more than 25 years on programs including Sizewell C and Hinkley Point C.

The framework will also draw on expertise with the Ministry of Defence where, since 2010, Atkinsrealis has provided a range of services to Babcock at Devonport Royal Dockyard -- home to the Royal Navy's nuclear-powered submarines. Atkinsrealis has also supported Babcock at HMNB Clyde, the operational home of the U.K. Submarine Service and Rosyth Royal Dockyard, a key manufacturing and maintenance site.
