Houses of Parliament

BDP, Purcell, Pick Everard and Capita have been appointed to the 拢43m framework for work on the Parliamentary estate.

Seven tenders were received, all from UK-based firms.

The four-year framework is for multi-disciplinary architectural and engineering design services involving 鈥渙n-going planned and reactive works to the buildings within the estate include building refurbishment, new build and maintenance projects鈥�.
