Confirm for Amey's Highways Infrastructure Support

Pitney Bowes Business Insight (PBBI) has announced that has chosen PBBI's highways asset management system Confirm to support the 25 year, GBP2.7bn Birmingham Highways PFI. PBBI's initial three year contract is worth GBP1.1m, with an option to extend two further years.

The PFI partnership between Amey and Birmingham City Council is the UK's largest in the local government highways sector, and is responsible for 2,500km of the city's road network, 100,000 street lights and over 850 highway bridges, structures and tunnels.

Confirm will make it easier for members of the public to report any faults or issues with the municipal environment and for Amey to expedite an appropriate response in addition to assist Amey to manage and maintain the city's highways, bridges & structures, street lights and trees via a centralised system and database.

Confirm will also help Amey to meet the requirements of legislation such as the TMA, New Roads & Street Works and UKPMS by systematically increasing its visibility of the Birmingham network. The PBBI team has worked closely with Amey to deliver a scalable on-demand solution.
