Mouchel will be supported by Rowsell Wright and Chandler KBS in partnership with the Roads Service Northern Ireland.
The contract award follows on from Mouchel's successful Client Advisor and Project Manager role on the A1/N1 project, which connected Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland with a 14km cross-border dual carriageway.
Mouchel also worked in partnership with the Roads Service on the GBP100 million realignment and upgrading to dual carriageway of the A4/A5 between Dungannon and Ballygawley.
Andy Campbell, Business Unit Director at Mouchel and Project Director for the scheme, said: "This is great news and follows on from the successful delivery of the A1/N1 project which was opened on schedule this summer".
"The new A5 Corridor project is an unprecedented transportation challenge for Northern Ireland and one that we are delighted to be involved in".
Peter Edwards, Technical Director for the scheme added "We look forward to working with our partners Roads Service Northern Ireland, Rowsell Wright and Chandler KBS.
This scheme builds on our previous successes and allows us to continue to grow our business and attract the best staff in Ireland." The route options for the scheme will be presented in due course at a number of exhibitions.
Feedback will be considered, along with the assessment of environmental, safety, economic, accessibility and integration issues before choosing a final route.
It is expected that a preferred route will be published in mid to late 2009.
Speaking at the official announcement, Regional Development Minister Conor Murphy said: "The 88km dualling of the A5 is by far the single largest road project ever to be undertaken here".
"The scheme represents another significant link in the development of the road infrastructure to the west of Bann.".
