The estimated value of the framework is up to £45 million over the two-year term with the opportunity for an additional two-year extension.

Deepening an already well established relationship, Morrison and Scottish Water Horizon will be working in partnership to provide new water infrastructure and to repair and maintain existing water infrastructure throughout Scotland.

The works consist of a reappointment to the Clean Water Framework which covers developer services. Projects previously completed on this framework include the £400k Tornagrain, £1.5m Fernhill and £800k Monnymusk schemes.

As well as new appointments to the Waste Water Framework which also covers developer services and the Aquatrine Framework, covers capital repair and maintenance water and wastewater works across the Ministry of Defence (MOD) estate in Scotland.

Morrison Construction, infrastructure Scotland, south and water operation’s director, Stephen Slessor, said: “We are delighted to secure this additional business from an existing framework client. It builds on our track record in delivering both clean and waste water infrastructure projects across the country.

“We look forward to working with all stakeholders and drawing on our skills and experience to deliver first-class customer service, excellent health and safety management, innovative ways of working and of course, high-quality essential infrastructure.”
