Highways Agency appoints Galliford Try to five-year framework

Housebuilding and construction group Galliford Try has announced that its infrastructure business has been appointed by the Highways Agency to its collaborative delivery framework.

The group is one of six contractors that will deliver works worth a total of up to £1.15bn over the five-year duration of the framework.

Galliford Try has secured a place on Lot 3a, which consists of construction works with individual schemes ranging in value of £25-100m. The work will cover the entire major highways building programme, including smart motorways, motorway widening, junctions, bypass schemes, asset renewal works and pinch points.

Greg Fitzgerald, executive chairman of Galliford, said: "We are delighted to have secured this opportunity to further strengthen our presence in the highways sector and look forward to working with the Highways Agency in the spirit of long-term collaboration that this new framework engenders."
