Eric Wright Civil Engineering (EWCE) has secured projects worth over £2m after being selected to three local authority frameworks.

EWCE has been appointed as a framework civil engineering contractor by Bolton Council for highways works up to the value of £2m. The two-year framework comprises four lots in total and EWCE is one of just three companies that can now bid for higher value highway works across the borough.


EWCE has already secured three framework projects for Bolton with a combined value of £1m, involving two re-surfacing schemes and a cycle path renewal contract.

Salford City Council has appointed EWCE to its two-year higher value highways and structures framework. The firm has secured two schemes totalling £1m, including a project to repaint the iconic, Grade II-listed Barton Swing Bridge in Old Trafford.

EWCE has also secured a place on a four-year Lancashire County Council framework for civil improvements to schools and public buildings valued between £25,000 and £150,000. The company has so far been awarded two projects involving car park improvements at primary schools.
