Eight firms, including some of the industry\u2019s biggest names, have won places on a \u00a31.5bn framework covering public-sector projects across the North West of England.<\/p>\n
Kier, Sir Robert McAlpine, ISG, Vinci and Morgan Sindall are among those named on the four-year framework, which kicks off this month.<\/p>\n
The work includes building daycare centres, crematoriums, further education facilities, halls of residence, schools, shopping centres, industrial buildings, libraries and car parks.<\/p>\n
It is the fourth edition of the High Value Construction Framework managed by procurement vehicle the North West Construction Hub (NWCH).<\/p>\n
The framework is used by clients delivering projects across the North West that use public-sector funding.<\/p>\n
In the last edition in 2019, Balfour Beatty, Laing O\u2019Rourke, Wates and Bouygues were among the winners \u2013 but all missed out this time.<\/p>\n
Twenty bids were received for the latest round.<\/p>\n
Jared Allen, chair of NWCH\u2019s board and director of capital programmes for Manchester City Council, said the procurement process had been \u201cvery rigorous\u201d.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe are aware that a number of clients eagerly await the news to kick-start many of their projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
ISG\u2019s North-West framework manager Paul Collins said: \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to the next four years and the opportunities that this success will provide us to deliver fantastic projects and outcomes for the people of the North West.\u201d<\/p>\n
NWCH was established in 2009. Manchester City Council is\u00a0the legal entity behind it.<\/p>\n
