Galliford Try Selected On Frameworks Totalling £350m
Galliford Try, the housebuilding and construction group, has announced its appointment to frameworks in the environmental, highways and affordable housing sectors.
The company has announced the further extension of its framework with the Environment Agency to manage part of its flood defence, waterways and water resources capital works programme in England and Wales.
Galliford Try will be one of six core contractors engaged on the framework and expects to secure approximately £30 million worth of work during the extension which will last until March 2013. Galliford Try was initially appointed to the framework in May 2007. Three schemes are currently on site at Wakefield, Wigan and Banbury.
Greg Fitzgerald, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented: "We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with the Environment Agency through this significant framework extension which we expect will provide a steady flow of work over the period."
The firm has also announced its appointment to two Highway Maintenance contracts anticipated to be worth in excess of £20m over a four year term.
The first contract consists of three framework lots of re-surfacing, traffic management and carriageway markings work for an existing client, East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The second contract is for a new client, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, and covers highway maintenance minor works to carriageways, footways and structures.
Mr Fitzgerald said: "We are delighted to extend our partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council and to secure new business from Stoke-on-Trent City Council. These awards demonstrate the spread of our expertise in highways as part of our civil engineering business."
Galliford Try has been confirmed as one of the contractors on the new framework agreement for leading London-based housing association A2 Dominion.
The framework, which will deliver new affordable housing totalling over £300 million for the association, will run for four years. Galliford Try is one of 14 contractors for projects in the £5-10m bracket and one of nine contractors for projects worth £10m and upwards.
