SMP Alliance

SMP Alliance is a partnership comprising seven members: National Highways as the client; one Production Management Partner (Fluor); two Digitally-Enabled Design Partners (WSP and Jacobs); and three On-Site Assembly Partners (Balfour Beatty, the BAM / Morgan Sindall Joint Venture and Costain). Collectively, the SMP Alliance is designing and constructing the smart motorways programme (SMP) for National Highways. The Alliance is an enterprise with the vision to be industry leading in making the road network safer, greener and evermore efficient for everyone. This is supported by a shared mission to be a high performance enterprise that excels in delivering enhancements to the strategic road network. Transformation is being achieved by adopting innovations, applying a programmatic approach, utilising digital rehearsals and embedding methods of construction such as off-site manufacture. There is a greater emphasis on digital technology, increased efficiency and standardisation. Six measurable Outcomes define our success, namely: Home Safe & Well; Confident Customers; Inspiring Workplaces; Production Excellence; Enriched Communities; and Enhanced Environments. These Outcomes are clearly outlined with agreed KPIs and supporting PIs. All align with National Highways’ three imperatives of improving safety, creating a better customer experience and delivering greater efficiency.
