  • Anticipated Acquisition by AECOM Technology Corporation of URS Corporation
    Anticipated acquisition by AECOM Technology Corporation of URS Corporation ME/6464-14 The CMA’s decision on reference under section 33(1) given on 14 October 2014. Full text of the decision published on 12 November 2014. Please note that the square brackets indicate figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. Summary 1. The parties concerned are AECOM Technology Corporation (AECOM) and URS Corporation (URS), together the ‘Parties’. The Parties provide a range of engineering design and construction consultancy services to public and private clients globally. The effect of the transaction (hereafter referred to as the ‘Merger’) is that URS will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of AECOM. 2. The Merger results in the creation of a relevant merger situation as the two enterprises, AECOM and URS, will cease to be distinct and the Merger satisfies the turnover test. 3. In the UK, the Parties overlap in engineering consultancy services across four general areas: General Building, Environmental, Water and Transportation. For the purposes of the competitive assessment, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) considered these general areas and 18 subsectors into which they can be divided. Based on the evidence available to it, the CMA considers that there are many competitors in each subsector, with several companies offering a similar range of services as the Parties. Based on share of supply data from an industry market report submitted by the Parties, the combined shares of the Parties when considering a narrow frame of reference would be 11% in all but one subsector, or there would be only a small incremental increase in supply post-Merger.
