Jacobs is named as a supplier on Lot 8 – Infrastructure, offering consulting, advisory services and digital solutions across core markets, including transportation, cities & places, defence and clean energy. 

Under the framework, Jacobs will provide UK public sector organisations with advisory services to enable the delivery of cleaner, smarter infrastructure, improve value for money from public investment and support the organisations responsible for major programmes. This appointment positions the company to continue serving new and existing public sector clients for the next two years.

Jacobs Executive Vice President Europe Richard Sanderson said: “This appointment enables us to address the public sector’s most pressing infrastructure and transformation needs. Building on our role on the previous framework, we bring deep technical knowledge and experience across the full programme lifecycle – from strategy through delivery – to help clients achieve better outcomes for communities and taxpayers.”

Management Consultancy Framework Four provides UK public sector organisations with access to cost-effective management consultancy from a range of suppliers. 

Jacobs will deliver infrastructure-focused advisory services that cover the breadth of its UK markets, drawing on its strategic partnership with PA Consulting. In addition, Jacobs will support clients in strategy and transformation work through collaboration with PA Consulting, which holds positions on Lot 2 – Strategy and Policy, Lot 3 – Complex and Transformation and Lot 4 – Finance.

Crown Commercial Service supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2024/25, the CCS reported that it helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £5.3 billion ($7 billion).
