The Framework, which started this month, will run for five years and will cover the North and Midlands region and the South and South East. Carillion is one of six contractors that have been selected for both sectors.

Commenting Rob Holt, Carillion Director for Education said: "Carillion is very pleased to have been selected for the new Contractors Framework. We are looking forward to working with PfS, local authorities and the academy sponsors to support the delivery of their educational vision for their schools.

"This Contractors Framework is a continued opportunity to positively influence learning outcomes, improve the life chances of young people and support the local economy of the areas in which we work."
