Gatwick picks 18 consultants to help deliver investment plans

Gatwick Airport has picked 18 consultants to help deliver its £1bn+ five-year Capital Investment Programme.

The battle for places saw 130 consultancy firms apply for a space on The Design and Engineering Services Framework and the Professional Services Resource Framework.

Gatwick’s Director of Construction Raymond Melee said: “It’s an exciting time at Gatwick as we kick off our five-year Capital Investment Programme with £1.15bn committed up to 2022 and £240m planned for 2017/18 alone.

“We are halfway through a £2.7bn transformation programme as we plan for more growth and improved efficiency, while also maintaining our record levels of passenger satisfaction.

“I look forward to working with these specialists to boost our in-house teams as we move through the various stages of our projects.”

The Design and Engineering Framework has awarded preferred bidder status to 13 consultants:

• Low Complexity Architecture: Pascall + Watson, Atkins, 3DReid
• Low Complexity Structures & Civils: WSP, Jacobs, RPS, AMEY OW, Ramboll
• Low Complexity Engineering (M&E): WSP, Cundall, TSP, Hulley & Kirkwood
• Medium/High Complexity Design: WSP, RPS, Chapman Taylor/Arcadis, Arup, Jacobs

Gatwick has classified projects according to complexity rather than value.

The Professional Services Resource Framework winners are:

• Arcadis
• Faithful + Gould
• Robinson Low Francis
• Doig and Smith
• Currie & Brown
• WSP UK
• AECOM

The consultants will work with the 17 contractors awarded places on Gatwick’s construction frameworks last year
