Transport planner JMP has successfully renewed term commissions in East Renfrewshire, Scotland and the London Borough of Enfield, ensuring the continuation of long term relationships with both clients.
In Enfield JMP has now been appointed to the traffic, transportation and highways consultancy framework for the third time, extending the consultant’s seven year relationship with the borough.
The framework, which is for a further three years with the option to extend for another year, has an estimated fee value over the initial three years of some £950,000. JMP is one of three consultants appointed.
It covers a wide range of activities including traffic and transportation, place shaping and highways services. For the highways services element JMP has sub-contracted Camden Consultancy Services, part of the street management division of the London Borough of Camden’s environment department, to provide specialised local authority experience in highways maintenance and asset management.
In Scotland, East Renfrewshire Council has appointed JMP as preferred consultant for both transportation engineering and traffic engineering as well as reserve consultant for development control and civil and structural engineering.
JMP was originally appointed in November 2004 with extensions in 2006 and 2007 for the transportation engineering commission and has been actively involved in the preparation of several Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance projects, including assessment of the council’s Finalised Local Plan. The latest commissions are for three years with the potential for a year’s extension.
