 Infrastructure software provider 7606 Yotta is partnering with infrastructure services company FM Conway to deliver a US$50.4 million per annum highway maintenance contract for Westminster City Council in London. WSP is a third partner on the project, supplying design services.

The eight year contract, with optional four year extension, comprises highways maintenance services, including repairs.
