AECOM (NYSE:ACM) is one of the best smart city stocks. On August 25, AECOM gained placement on the UK’s National Highways SPaTS3 framework, working in partnership with Arup.

The £495 million framework, concentrated among six providers and running through 2031, will supply National Highways with consulting and technical services to enhance safety and dependability on England’s 4,500-mile strategic routes.

This contract extends AECOM’s collaboration with National Highways, continuing the progress made under the prior SPaTS framework alongside Arup.

As per Richard Whitehead, the CEO of AECOM’s Europe & India operations:

"We will bring the full breadth of our engineering advisory expertise to this framework, supporting National Highways as it continues to enhance the efficiency, safety and resilience of England’s strategic road network."

AECOM already works with the Department for Transport and National Highways on road projects across the country. The company will now use its technical skills to support sustainable roads and prepare England’s network for the future.
