Highways England renews contract with XPO Logistics 20 September 2017
Renewal now includes managing the CHARM technology facility
XPO Logistics has secured a multi-million pound contract expansion with government-owned company Highways England. Highways England is charged with operating, maintaining and improving the country’s motorways and main carriageways.
Under the contract, XPO Logistics will continue to operate a national technology and logistics centre (NTLC) on behalf of Highways England in West Hallam, Derbyshire, as it has since 2010.
In addition, XPO will manage the agency’s new CHARM technology centre, dedicated to testing roadside equipment in a safe environment.
All components used in the implementation of maintenance and repair works are stored at the West Hallam site, with distribution to Highways England’s eight regional depots on a weekly basis. Stocks include cables and other electronics used to keep CCTV, weather monitoring and electronic signage services working on SMART motorways.
