Morrison Construction, Morgan Sindall and Kier Construction have been successfully appointed to North Lanarkshire Council’s Schools and Centres 21 Phase 2 Framework.

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

The schools projects will be awarded as design and build contracts through a selection process of mini-tenders.

It is understood that Laing O’Rourke and Carillion were also bidding for a place.

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.”
