Pell Frischmann is delighted to announce its appointment to Birmingham City Council’s (BCC) £400m Transportation and Infrastructure Professional Services Framework.
Achieving first place on the eight-year framework, we will deliver multidisciplinary design and advisory services across the region.

Under the framework, we will provide a broad range of specialist services to support Birmingham’s transport and infrastructure ambitions. This includes urban mobility and transport planning, helping shape sustainable transport strategies and integrated mobility plans that meet the needs of growing communities.
Highways engineering and infrastructure design will form a key part of the commission, encompassing safer road layouts, major junction improvements and new transport links that support future growth. We also look forward to contributing to active travel and sustainable transport initiatives, including walking and cycling infrastructure and public transport enhancements, supporting Birmingham’s commitment to healthier and lower-carbon travel choices.
In order to deliver this work, we are leading One Team, an alliance in partnership with WSP, Matchtech, and a network of specialist SMEs.
