DYER & BUTLER AWARDED
PLACE ON EASTERN HIGHWAYS
ALLIANCE FRAMEWORK
Dyer & Butler has been appointed
to Lot 1 of the Eastern Highways
Alliance Framework 3.
Ten councils in the East of England have launched the
framework for delivering highway maintenance and
improvement schemes that could be worth up to £400m over
four years. The framework has been divided into three
separate Lots, with Dyer & Butler appointed to Lot 1 covering
projects with a value of up to £2m.
The framework will provide benefits to the way local authorities
in the East of England deliver highway works. The councils say
the framework will aim to reduce the time and cost of such
projects and provide an efficient and effective way to procure
investment in highways.
Councillor Kevin Bentley, Deputy Leader of Essex County
Council and Cabinet Member for Infrastructure, said: “The
creation of the Eastern Highways Framework 3 has been a
huge task, led by Essex County Council, in collaboration with
the authorities of the Eastern Highways Alliance.

“It is innovative thinking and partnership working like this
which demonstrates how local authorities are collaborating in
adapting to the challenges we face.”
Dyer & Butler Highways Director, Simon White, commented:
“Dyer & Butler teams across the East and South-East will
support the EHA through the delivery of schemes that will
typically involve highway improvements, highways works,
and public realm works for town centre enhancements.”
