Sisk has been named as one of eight contractors to win a place on Liverpool City Council’s Highways Planned Works Framework, securing a position on Lot 2: Projects over £1.5 million.

The new multi-supplier framework is designed to streamline the procurement of high-quality highways services by enabling the council to form long-term partnerships with pre-approved contractors. This will significantly reduce the need for individual tendering processes for each project and accelerate the delivery of essential infrastructure improvements.

The framework will cover a broad range of planned works across the city, including resurfacing, active travel schemes, sustainable transport infrastructure, traffic signal and junction upgrades, and bridge improvements.

The initiative comes as part of Liverpool City Council’s wider strategy to modernise and enhance the city’s highways network, backed by substantial financial investment. It aligns closely with the council’s City Plan and 2023 Transport Plan, which place a strong emphasis on sustainable travel, accessibility and the prioritisation of walking and cycling.

Extensive market engagement began in June 2024 to ensure the framework reflected the needs of both the city and potential suppliers, while fostering transparency and collaboration.

Alan Rodger, Managing Director of Sisk Infrastructure, said: “Sisk Infrastructure is delighted to win a place on Lot 2 of the Liverpool City Council – Highways Planned Works Framework. Having recently completed the Isle of Man Ferry Terminal, the city is seeing tangible investment in large infrastructure programmes. We have a strong presence and capability of supply chain partners in Liverpool and the North-West and are looking forward to helping deliver improvements through the Framework that will benefit the region.”
