Special Projects lands role in highways consortium


NMC Special Projects Division has been named in the supply chain for the AMScott consortium, which has won the Highways Agency's (HA) Area 7 MAC (Managing Agent Contractor) deal. NMC will undertake individual improvement schemes up to the value of £500,000.

"We had been a framework contractor in our own right before the HA's latest procurement changes, working in what was Area 13," said Moyle. "Now we have a position in a bigger consortium where Alfred McAlpine and Scott Wilson manage the project, while as a framework supplier we do civils and highways work.

"Large clients are increasingly moving towards working with the big players, which means that a contractor of our size must build relationships with them. We are doing just that but it is early days."

Moyle's challenge is to make NMC "exportable" so that when the AMScott bids for further work, it takes NMC into new areas as a result of having found it to be a worthy framework partner.
