Winvic secures place on £800m Eastern Highways Alliance Framework

Winvic Construction Ltd, a leading main contractor specialising in the design and delivery of private and public sector construction and civil engineering projects, has been appointed to the Eastern Highways Alliance Framework (EHF4), securing a place on all three Lots over a potential six-year cycle.

The EHF4 framework, valued at up to £800 million, is being managed by Central Bedfordshire Council and encompasses a collaborative group of ten further local authorities across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Luton, Norfolk, Peterborough, Southend-on-Sea, Suffolk, and Thurrock.

The framework’s objective is to enhance infrastructure development, streamline project costs, and optimise resource sharing. During its term, orders may also be placed by Town and Parish Councils within the EHA4, along with the Lead Authorities.

Winvic’s appointment across Lots 1, 2, and 3, positions the company to undertake a comprehensive set of schemes, ranging from highway improvements, bridge and structural works, subways, culverts and retaining walls, through to town centre enhancements, drainage systems, canal works, and waste management facilities.

Schemes under the 3 Lots are divided up as follows:

• Lot 1: to an individual total contract value of £5,000,000 for each separate scheme (Direct Award and/or Further Competition)
• Lot 2: an individual total contract value between £5,000,000 – £30,000,000 for each separate scheme (Further Competition only)
• Lot 3: an individual total contract value over £30,000,000 for each separate scheme (Further Competition only)

As well as operational competences, Health, Safety and Welfare and design credentials will be a key focus. Winvic’s exemplary safety record for its highways works delivery, it’s robust H&S cultural change programme – Doing It Right – as well as its tried and tested digital design and Social Value and Sustainability and Net Zero capabilities are all substantial merits which helped the company to secure a place on the Framework.

This achievement reinforces Winvic’s position as a trusted partner in delivering high-quality civil engineering and infrastructure projects for the public sector across the East of England.

Rob Cook, Managing Director for Civils & Infrastructure at Winvic, commented: “Securing a place on all three Lots of the Eastern Highways Alliance Framework is a significant milestone for Winvic.

“Our team’s expertise in delivering complex, multi-faceted infrastructure projects aligns seamlessly with the goals of EHF4.

“We are excited to collaborate closely with alliance members to deliver vital improvements that will benefit both local communities and the region’s wider transportation network.

“Winvic’s commitment to safety, sustainability, social value and innovative construction practices ensures we are well-positioned to execute these projects efficiently while adding long-lasting value.”
