Sweco has signed a framework agreement to deliver technical and engineering expertise within rail, construction and infrastructure to Sporveien - Norway's largest public transport provider. The agreement runs for two years, with the possibility of extension for up to six years. The total scope of the agreement is estimated at NOK 350-500 million, with projects to be awarded through mini-competitions between six suppliers.
Sporveien, which is owned by the City of Oslo, operates the capital's metro, tram and contracted bus services. In 2024, Sporveien T-bane (metro), Sporveien Trikken (tram) and Unibuss completed a combined 264 million passenger journeys. The new framework agreement with Sweco applies from July 2025 to July 2027, with the option to extend for up to six additional years.
"We are pleased that Sporveien has once again chosen Sweco, and we look forward to providing our industry-leading expertise in safe and efficient rail-bound transportation. Sweco is proud to help develop Oslo's public transport through the provision of technical consultancy and engineering services in rail, buildings and infrastructure," says Rasmus Nord, Business Area President of Sweco Norway.
Under the new agreement, Sweco will provide multidisciplinary expertise across transport, rail systems, safety, energy, construction and architecture. Sweco has already commenced the first project under the agreement, providing technical consultancy for the planning application of a new station building above Grønland metro station.
"The agreement gives Sporveien access to essential expertise in engineering design and capacity, which is crucial for realising the future public transport infrastructure. Sweco is one of several suppliers selected using a competitive process and, thereby ensuring quality, flexibility and efficient resource utilisation in Sporveien's projects," says Hanna Rachel Broch, Sporveien's development manager.
