Amey secures £35m contract to upgrade Bradford’s street lighting with LEDs

Amey has secured a new £35 million contract with the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council to upgrade the street lighting in the district.

The infrastructure and highways services provider will work for the next four years to survey the 56,500 street lighting assets, design 53,700 new units and replace 48,300 existing street lights with energy-efficient LED versions.

The firm says the upgrade will reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by 65%, as well as slashing maintenance costs.

Peter Anderson, Managing Director for Transport Infrastructure at Amey, said: “We are delighted that we have been confirmed as Preferred Bidder by City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council to deliver their Street Lighting requirements.

"Our Transport Infrastructure business has a wealth of experience in delivering street lighting contracts throughout the UK, so to be chosen by Bradford Council is a fantastic acknowledgment of our expertise.

“For us, this contract is not just about providing better street lighting for the district, it’s also about helping to enhance the area for local communities through our social value commitments.”
