GHD awarded place on Ealing Highways and Transport Services Framework

GHD has been reappointed to Lot 3 (General Engineering) on the London Borough of Ealing’s Highways and Transport Services Framework 2025–2029. The framework runs from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2029, is available to 33 authorities, supporting highways, transport and public-realm services. 

What GHD is bringing to the framework term 

For GHD, this is a long-term platform for work that people notice in daily life. It covers the streets, junctions and local centres that shape how safe, comfortable and accessible a place feels. It also gives councils a clear route to bring in support when they need it. 

GHD adopts a Place First approach, drawing on learning from each project and applying it across multiple boroughs, from concept through to detailed design. This helps shape schemes that respond to their local environment while using the best available learning, value‑led design choices and sustainable build options. 

David Hurren, Business Group Leader – Transport Solutions, says, “We are delighted to continue working with Ealing and many other London Boroughs through the Ealing Framework. I believe that the re-award is a ringing endorsement of GHD, our people and our approach. This framework award will enable us to continue to help shape sustainable communities across London.” 

What the work entails 

Under Lot 3, GHD can deliver general engineering and advisory services, including: 

• Civil and highways engineering 

• Asset management 

• Road-safety engineering and audits 

• CDM 2015 advice 

• Traffic and parking orders 

• Transport planning and modelling 

• Data analysis 

• “Healthy Streets” and placemaking 

• Urban design 

• Public realm 

The scope also covers utilities and drainage, structures, street lighting, development-related highway works (s38/s278) and engagement and public consultation on local schemes. 

Building on existing work across London boroughs 

GHD has supported Ealing and other London boroughs during the previous framework period, where the team’s Place First design and value engineering approach has been particularly welcomed. That work has included secondments, highways and public-realm active travel, and wider programmes that began in Kingston, Ealing and Haringey and later extended to Wandsworth and Richmond. 

Across the framework term, GHD will work with council teams, partners and local stakeholders to develop streets that support safe movement, local businesses and healthier, lower-carbon travel choices.
