Waterman : wins new contract with Merseytravel

We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded a new contract by Merseytravel through a mini-tender to provide independent scrutiny of major scheme business cases.

This appointment builds upon and extends the existing four year agreement with Merseytravel for which we have provided approximately 60 schemes over the last two years.

The new contract which covers major transport and other schemes across the Liverpool City Region commenced on 1st January 2017 for a 12 month period with an option of contract extension.

Merseytravel delivers transport projects that support the economic growth of the Liverpool city region. The aim is to improve connectivity within the region and beyond, enhancing customer experience from ticket buying to maintaining the integrated transport network.

Our team will provide multidisciplinary engineering consultancy services, which emphasises on an increased scope to cover expertise across rail, civil & structural, transport, highways infrastructure and business case development for bus stations, tunnels, ferry terminals, public attractions, engineering workshops, park and ride facilities.

David Prior, Associate Director, commented: 'We have been providing Merseytravel with business case support for major schemes for several years. We are delighted that the new appointment will enable us to continue with and expand upon those existing working arrangements. This appointment is particularly significant given the Single Investment Fund and other changes that are occurring within the Liverpool area. We look forward to assisting with the exciting and innovative major scheme proposals that are being developed for the Liverpool City Region.'
