Peel Ports has developed a partnership programme and secured long-term agreements with a number of industry consultants to support vital projects across its operations.
A range of companies have been selected for their expertise and will support the delivery of the port operator’s capital investment programme for up to eight years.
The programme partners include: Ramboll, Jacobs, Turner & Townsend, Currie & Brown UK, HaskoningDHV, Pell Frischmann, Tetra Tech, Tony Gee and Partners, Waterman Infrastructure & Environment and Arch Henderson.
The framework will cover specialist consultancy services, project management, and quantity surveying to support key infrastructure projects and feasibility work across all group projects and engineering operations.
The move is expected to support Peel Ports in continuing to improve its offering for customers as well as bolstering its commitment towards becoming carbon neutral by 2040.
