Galliford Try has secured a place for the first time on a Northumbrian Water framework and joins a group of four contractors that bagged all three lots.

The framework has been set up to provide additional contractor capacity on Northumbrian’s AMP7 capital works programme being delivered by its main Runway 2 partners.

Projects released via the frameworks will be competitively tendered and be worth £500,000 to £10m.

The work over both its Northumbrian Water and Essex and Suffolk Water operating areas will be carried out over a four-year period.

Steve Slessor, managing director for Galliford Try’s Environment business, said: “This is the latest in another set of strategic wins, and another significant breakthrough for Environment, as we continually look to build on our capability of infrastructure and non-infrastructure water asset delivery.

“We hope that the expertise and collaborative approach we demonstrate through this work will place us in a good position to build strong long-term relationships.”

The award closely follows Galliford Try’s appointment to Scottish Water’s new Non-Infrastructure Framework for the SR21-27 investment programme, valued at £700m over a six-year timeframe.
