AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced it has secured places on two Crown Commercial Service (CCS) frameworks, expanding its offering to government departments and public sector clients in the UK, and further enhancing AECOM’s presence across the Crown Commercial Service as a Supplier Alliance Member.

“AECOM’s growing strategic advisory offering combines the strength of our experience with deep technical expertise,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s president. “CPS and MCF3 are important frameworks for AECOM that enable us to deliver new services to our public sector clients, helping them to understand their challenges and solve their most complex issues. Key to our offering is integrating ESG into every project we deliver to our clients.”

AECOM has secured five lots on the Crown Commercial Service’s £1.7bn Construction Professional Services (CPS) Framework and has also secured a position on four lots of the major Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Management Consultancy Framework (MCF3). These frameworks will run for four years.

“We are excited to continue growing our relationship with public sector clients and extend our support to them as many re-evaluate the built environment for post-pandemic use and work towards achieving net zero emissions targets,” said Colin Wood, AECOM’s regional chief executive in Europe and India. “As a Supplier Alliance Member, we are pleased to advance these important objectives with clients and other Supplier Alliance Members across the UK.”

The Construction Professional Services Framework lots will cover the built environment and general infrastructure, urban regeneration, high rise structures, defense and security and international projects. The framework is used by government departments and public sector clients ranging from education and housing to energy and health.

The MCF3 gives government, public bodies and third sectors access to a wide range of specialist consultancy services. AECOM has secured positions on Lot 1: Business, Lot 6: Procurement & Supply Chain, Lot 8: Infrastructure including Transport and Lot 9: Environmental Sustainability & Socio-Economic Development.

AECOM is committed to delivering its transformative environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives through its Sustainable Legacies strategy, ensuring the work it does in partnership with clients leaves a positive impact for years to come.

Crown Commercial Service supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2020/21, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £2.04bn – supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers.

The value of future work associated with this framework will be added to backlog upon the Company's selection for such projects.
