WS Atkins picks up pair of highways deals


WS Atkins has picked up a pair of highways and transport deals in Bradford and Hampshire.

WS Atkins' highway services arm, Atmos, has won a three-year maintenance contract with the City of Bradford worth £6m a year. The contract will involve more than 100 staff, who will be responsible for the maintenance of 1,650km carriageway within the city.

In Hampshire the county council has chosen WS Atkins to develop and implement its local transport plan in a three-year, £1m a year partnership agreement.

Meanwhile, WS Atkins has created a shared services facility (SSF) in Worcester. The SSF will open on 2 January 2002, housing the group's entire UK accounting services staff. IT, human resources, payroll, marketing and other central support services will also transfer to the SSF during the year.

The facility will also be used to offer outsourcing of public sector clients' support services.
