The Maintenance and Response contract for motorways and
major A roads in Greater Manchester, Merseyside,
Cheshire and South Lancashire is worth £325 million,
will run for up to 15 years and has been awarded to
Amey as part of our Asset Delivery operating model.
The contract, which starts in April 2019, will see Amey
carrying out routine maintenance, repairing defects,
responding to emergency incidents and providing severe
weather services on 260 miles of motorway and 50 miles

Highways England executive director of

We recognise that how we maintain our roads and
respond to incidents are extremely important issues
for drivers. By working more closely with our supply
chain colleagues who carry out these activities, we
will be able to work more effectively, identify
innovative ways of working and provide the best
possible quality of service to our customers.
We’re committed to driving improvement and
strengthening our regional expertise. We’re delighted
to welcome Amey to our North West Asset Delivery
supply chain community and look forward to
establishing a successful, long-term relationship
with them.
Amey’s chief executive Andy Milner said:
We are pleased to have been awarded this key contract
by Highways England. Working together, listening and
learning from our clients and customers, we have
