Kier and John Graham Construction are the only firms to have secured spots on all three lots of £1.5bn deal

Galliford Try and Morgan Sindall have been dumped from North West Construction Hub’s high-value framework, with the procurement body selecting 13 other firms for the third generation of the £1.5bn deal.

The two contractors, who held spots on all lots on the previous version of the framework, were among the losers on the deal.

Laing O’Rourke also took a hit, being demoted to just the least valuable lot despite having held spots on every lot across the previous two versions of the framework.

Kier and John Graham Construction were the only firm to secure spots on all three lots, while Balfour Beatty, Bouygues, Graham and Vinci won spots on the framework for the first time since its inception in 2010.

ISG, who has been on the North West Construction Hub’s medium-value framework since 2010, also claimed spots on lots one and two of the high-value framework for the first time.

Bam and Wates retained spots on the framework as part of the £1.5bn deal.

Projects previously delivered under the high-value framework include Kier’s £30m deal to build Chester’s Storyhouse Theatre (pictured) which was designed by architect Bennetts Associates.
