Sisk is one of eight contractors to who have been successful on winning a place on Liverpool City Council – Highways Planned Works Framework to procure high-quality highways services from a selection of approved suppliers. Sisk has won a place on Lot 2: Projects for over £1.5M.

The framework agreement will operate as a multi-supplier contract, enabling the City Council to establish long-term partnerships with vetted contractors.

This structure will streamline the procurement process for planned highways works, such as highways infrastructure improvements and re-surfacing, active travel schemes and sustainable transport provision, traffic signal junctions and infrastructure, and bridge upgrades.

The framework will eliminate the need for lengthy tender procedures for each project.

Liverpool City Council is undertaking a significant programme to upgrade and modernise Liverpool’s highways network, supported by substantial financial investment.

The Council’s City Plan and 2023 Transport Plan emphasise accessibility, active travel, and sustainable transport solutions. The Highways Planned Works Framework will support the delivery of projects that align with these objectives, supporting the Council’s vision for a future where walking and cycling are prioritised.

Extensive market engagement has been conducted since June 2024 to inform potential suppliers of Liverpool’s infrastructure plans and gather feedback on the framework’s structure.

Alan Rodger, MD, Sisk Infrastructure said:

“Sisk Infrastructure is delighted to win a place on Lot 2 of the Liverpool City Council – Highways Planned Works Framework. Having recently completed the Isle of Man Ferry Terminal, the city is seeing tangible investment in large infrastructure programmes. We have a strong presence and capability of supply chain partners in Liverpool and the North-West and are looking forward to helping deliver improvements through the Framework that will benefit the region.”
