Arcadis today announces it has been selected by Amsterdam public transport operator GVB as one of three suppliers on a framework agreement for consultancy and engineering services.<\/p>\n
The framework supports GVB\u2019s programme of renewal and improvement across its public transport network, which carries more than 21 million passengers per month, and provides Arcadis with the opportunity to support a long-term portfolio of assignments in the Amsterdam metropolitan area.<\/p>\n
Under the framework, Arcadis will support work across rail and public transport infrastructure, traction and power supply systems, and asset management. The scope also includes project and contract management, systems engineering and sustainability advisory, helping translate strategic goals into deliverable projects and measurable outcomes.<\/p>\n
Arcadis will provide strategic and tactical advice alongside hands-on delivery support for specific projects, working closely with GVB\u2019s internal departments. The framework is designed to give GVB access to predictable capacity and specialist expertise while maintaining technical quality and delivery reliability\u2014critical factors in a dense urban environment where construction and maintenance must be planned to minimize disruption for passengers and the city.<\/p>\n
Arcadis achieved the highest overall score in the tender based on GVB\u2019s best value-for-money evaluation, reflecting the strength of Arcadis\u2019 proposed approach, experience, expertise, and delivery model. The framework has a maximum term of eight years and an estimated total value of \u20ac50 million for all suppliers combined.<\/p>\n
Amsterdam\u2019s public transport system plays a central role in supporting economic activity, managing congestion, and improving air quality. As cities across Europe modernize ageing assets and accelerate decarbonization, operators are increasingly combining asset management, systems engineering and sustainability advisory to improve network resilience and passenger experience. Arcadis\u2019 selection by GVB reflects this shift toward integrated, outcome-driven delivery models.<\/p>\n
