Neology has been appointed as an approved provider of solutions to England's National Highways.
Entry into the Operational Technology Commercial Framework (OTCF) allows Neology to provide solutions covering transport systems and sustainable transport technologies.
The National Highways OTCF supports the delivery of the second roads investment strategy (RIS2) technology pipeline.
The first road investment strategy covered investment in England's strategic road network (SRN) during the 2015 to 2020 road period. It outlined an investment plan covering costs of operating, maintaining, renewing and enhancing the SRN funded by £15.2 billion of public money.
The process was repeated in developing the second Road investment strategy (RIS2) covering the second road period 2020 to 2025. Another £24.5 billion will be spent during the second RIS period.
Neology is now qualified to provide solutions and services within the OTCF in four lots. These include Lot 1 – detector systems (which include Neology's average speed enforcement solutions) Lot 3 – passive systems (sustainable transport infrastructure solutions), Lot 4 – operational systems (active traffic management systems, congestion) and Lot 5 operational technology consultancy support.
Neology managing director Luke Normington says: “It’s exciting to have independent verification that Neology UK Limited meets the highest standards to ultimately deliver solutions and services to the citizens of the UK by helping advance safer roadways, create better end-to-end journeys, and provide good value to taxpayers.”
In a separate move, Mott MacDonald has been appointed to Lots 4 and 5 of the OTCF.
Andrew Theobald, Mott MacDonald’s account lead for National Highways, says: “We look forward to supporting National Highways as they address the ambition of their Digital Roads Strategy; using data and technology to manage their infrastructure, technology and data assets more efficiently, thereby providing an even better service to their customers.”
