The first of the new projects is the £1.8 million refurbishment of NHS National Services Scotland’s offices at Gyle Square in Edinburgh.

In addition, the contractor is completing the refurbishment of Ward 1 within St John’s Hospital in Livingston for NHS Lothian and two projects within NHS Forth Valley’s Trystview rehabilitation facility, which comprise of wet room refurbishments and window replacements.

We look forward to continuing to deliver projects through this framework.”
