BALFOUR BEATTY SECURES £315 MILLION WARWICKSHIRE HIGHWAYS MAINTENANCE
CONTRACT

Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, today announces that
it has been awarded the £315 million seven-year Warwickshire Highways
Maintenance contract by Coventry City Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough
Council and Warwickshire County Council.

The new contract marks the company's third consecutive term delivering the
Warwickshire Highways Maintenance contract, taking the unique partnership
through to Spring 2033. There is an option to extend the contract by a further
six-years based on the successful delivery of the initial term, worth up to a
total value of £900 million.

Balfour Beatty Living Places - Balfour Beatty's local road maintenance, street
lighting and public‑realm service provider - will be responsible for
delivering a variety of road maintenance services to over 5,000 kilometres of
roads as well as cyclical maintenance to over 55,000 streetlights.

The award follows a strong track record of performance spanning effective
asset management, value for money, and close collaboration with the three
local authorities since 2011.

Balfour Beatty Living Places will implement an integrated, digitally enabled
operating model with a centralised planning and permitting system;
consolidating programme, performance and operational data to strengthen
council oversight and enable future AI‑enabled improvements in inspections,
winter planning and reactive service delivery.

Philip Hoare, Balfour Beatty Group Chief Executive, said: "This award reflects
the confidence and trust our customers place in Balfour Beatty.  Over the
last fifteen years, we have worked collaboratively with our local authority
partners to build a strategic infrastructure partnership that combines
effective asset management and improving services to deliver strong,
measurable outcomes.

"Long term partnerships such as this are critical to the delivery of essential
infrastructure, enabling sustained investment in people and services so that
we can provide better outcomes for communities."

The contract will commence in Spring 2026 and at peak, will employ a workforce
of c.160, including multiple graduate and apprenticeship positions.
