AECOM (NYSE: ACM) shares cleared breakeven Monday, as the company, the trusted global infrastructure leader, today announced its appointment to Scotland Excel’s Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework.
Through Scotland Excel, a leading procurement organization serving Scotland’s local government sector, AECOM will support local Scotland authorities with a comprehensive range of engineering and technical consultancy services, including transportation, water and environmental design, as well as project and commercial management solutions.
The Company’s eight awarded lots reflect a strengthened position on this latest-generation framework. In particular, the Company’s local delivery approach backed by integrated UK-wide expertise was a key differentiator that supported its top-quality scores on several lots.
“Covering a substantial range of services from transportation to water security to community planning, this framework reflects Scotland’s deep commitment to modernizing and enhancing its critical infrastructure,” said Richard Whitehead, chief executive of AECOM’s Europe & India region.
“We look forward to combining our local teams and global expertise to deliver solutions aligned with the Scottish Government’s National Outcomes, ensuring we support the health, wellbeing and sustainability of Scottish communities.”
“Spanning a four-year period,” reads this morning’s news release, “the Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework is the second generation of Scotland Excel’s collaborative model for local governments to procure design and construction consultancy services. The Framework includes participation from 32 local Scotland Councils and associate members from across the country.”
