Empa awards multi-million public sector construction contracts
Clegg Construction has been awarded a share of a £140m building contract as part of the East Midlands Property Alliance’s (empa’s) minor works framework, which covers public sector buildings.
The Nottingham-based company was awarded the contract after being named an empa partner. The contract, which runs for a period of four years, starting immediately, will cover work valued from £350,000 to £2m in Northamptonshire, Rutland and Peterborough.
David Knifton, business development manager at Clegg Construction, said that the company is thrilled to have been awarded this contract and to join fellow empa partners to deliver high quality work to public sector clients.
“We have an excellent track record having completed a whole range of public sector projects and we look forward to working with empa to utilise this experience and expertise,” he added.
The aim of empa, which is managed by Nottingham-based Scape, is to improve the procurement and delivery of construction projects and property maintenance for public sector clients. The empa framework contracts cover work for clients on all types of public sector buildings.
G F Tomlinson, Robert Woodhead, Interserve Construction, Jeakins Weir, Lindum Group and Ashe Construction have all secured a single contract within a sub-region for work valued between £50,000 and £350,000.
Other companies receiving a similar contract to Clegg Construction – for work valued between £350,000 and £2m – include G F Tomlinson, Robert Woodhead and Ashe Construction.
Alan Coole, head of empa, said: “The constraints on the finances of public sector bodies remain a firm reality, making it so important that they receive value for money from their construction projects.
“Contracts are secured through our extremely robust tender processes, so our clients can rest assured that their projects will be delivered on budget, on time and to a high standard. All seven of the firms we have selected put forward excellent submissions and I would like to congratulate them on their success.”
