Galliford Try appointed to school framework in Lanarkshire

The Scottish business of construction group Galliford Try, Morrison Construction, has been appointed to North Lanarkshire Council's Schools and Centres 21 phase two framework.

The framework is expected to produce a pipeline of up to £100m in schools projects during the next four years.

Morrison Construction is one of three contractors due to deliver works, with the projects to be awarded as design and build contracts through a selection process of mini-tenders.

Galliford Try executive chairman, Greg Fitzgerald, said: "We are delighted to have secured this opportunity, which builds on the strong relationships already established with North Lanarkshire Council through our Hub South West schools projects.

"Morrison Construction continues to lead the way as contractor of choice for the public sector in Scotland and will continue to play a key part in our strategy to increase the size of our construction business."
