New Contractor

Hampshire County Council announced in March 2017 that, with effect from 1 August 2017, Skanska will be providing highway maintenance services across the County, replacing the current contractor Amey.

The council has advised that mobilising a contract the size of Hampshire’s is a very big undertaking. It involves, amongst other things, transferring a large number of the workforce from Amey to the new contractor, Skanska.

This may lead to some disruption in the service during the initial period of transition.
