Birmingham picks Amey for £2.7bn highways deal

The 25-year highways maintenance and management contract is the largest private finance initiative deal in the highways sector by a local UK government. The city hopes to sign the contract later this year and begin implementation in April 2010.

The City of Birmingham has selected a preferred bidder for its £2.7 billion (€3.2 billion; $4.5 billion) highway maintenance PFI – the largest contract of its kind for a local UK government.

Amey, the UK-based provider of outsourced infrastructure management services to the public sector, won the 25-year contract, beating out a joint bid from Laing Roads and French contractor Vinci.
