Galliford Try has reached an agreement on a £48.5m contract with the Highland Council to build community campus in Wick, Scotland, with an ongoing services contract.

In addition, the FTSE 250 company will invest £1.6m in the project and will provide ongoing hard facilities maintenance and lifecycle management services in a contract worth approximately £13m over the 25-year period.

The building group's Morrison Construction business will construct The Wick Community project which will replace the existing Wick High School, South Primary School, Pulteneytown Academy Primary School, the Carnegie Library and the community swimming pool.

Construction has started and is expected to be completed by September 2016.
