Carillion

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation is inviting companies to bid for a £2.9bn facilities management contract that will replace the one previously held by CarillionAmey.

Billington chief executive Mark Smith said a “feeding frenzy” of bidding in the structural steel sector after Carillion’s collapse forced his company to take loss-making jobs.

The Carillion joint inquiry has branded the government’s refusal to review the role of crown representatives that monitor major government suppliers as “astonishing”.

Carillion installed cladding that breached fire safety regulations on its £335m Royal Liverpool Hospital, the hospital’s bosses have revealed.

The NHS trust behind Carillion’s £335m Royal Liverpool Hospital will have the option to declare the project in default from 30 September, according to the minister for health and social care.

Building product manufacturer Alumasc has seen its revenue and pre-tax profit hit by the fallout of the Carillion collapse, the firm has said.

Union leader Gail Cartmail has called for a criminal investigation into the collapse of Carillion.

Amey has completed the acquisition of a set of Ministry of Defence housing maintenance contracts it had been delivering with Carillion before the contractor’s collapse.

Collapsed subcontractor Vaughan Engineering has been accused of using Carillion’s liquidation as a “smokescreen” to hide its own poor payment record.

The man in charge of getting the Midland Metropolitan Hospital finished has told CN he wants up to five bidders competing for the £300m-plus contract to complete the job.
