The construction companies set to deliver the £1.5bn Parliamentary Construction Partnership (CPF) Framework have been announced.
Bovis, Wates and Kier are among the 10 firms celebrating the major contract win.
The framework, awarded on 15 October, is intended to provide long-term contracting capacity for works under the medium-term investment plan (MTIP).
It covers a range of construction and engineering disciplines, reflecting the Parliamentary Estate’s complexity.
The estate comprises more than 250,000 sq m of floor space, with around 70% of the buildings designated as ‘listed’, including the Palace of Westminster, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
