Waterman appointed on Hampshire’s Gen5 Consult framework
Waterman has secured three lots on Hampshire County Council’s Gen5 Consult – Transport, Highways & Infrastructure Consultancy Framework. Running from 2026 to 2030, the framework is designed to provide the Council with multidisciplinary and specialist professional services across transportation, civil engineering, infrastructure and economic growth.
The framework can also be accessed by all southern authorities through Hampshire County Council on a Participating Authority agreement basis, helping to extend the reach of specialist consultancy support across the wider public sector.
The three lots awarded to Waterman cover:
- B1 Engineering Design Specialisms
- B4 Environmental, Sustainability & Decarbonisation
- B7 Traffic Management, Traffic Order & Parking Consultancy
Hampshire County Council’s assistant director highways, engineering and transport, Tim Lawton, said in a recent statement:
“The Gen5 Consult Framework is designed to make it simpler and faster for public sector organisations to access the specialist expertise they need. By providing a pre-approved route to trusted suppliers, it removes the need to run a full procurement process for every project, saving time and reducing cost while maintaining high standards. Ultimately, it allows organisations to focus on delivering infrastructure, supporting better outcomes for communities, improved value for money and more consistent, high-quality services. The Gen5 Consult Framework is about helping public bodies deliver infrastructure more efficiently – by giving them faster access to the expertise they need to plan, design and deliver projects that support economic growth, connectivity and local communities.”
Commenting on the appointment, Paul Moore, Director of Waterman’s infrastructure and environment team, said:
“We are delighted to have been appointed to Hampshire County Council’s Gen5 Consult framework. This appointment reflects the strength of our multidisciplinary teams and our continued commitment to helping public sector clients deliver sustainable, resilient and well-connected places. We look forward to supporting Hampshire County Council and participating authorities with high-quality technical advice across a diverse range of transport, infrastructure and environmental challenges.”
