Three construction firms have scooped a 'major' highways infrastructure development framework.

BAM Nuttall, Carillion and Skanska were appointed by Hampshire County Council.

The Generation 3 framework will cover projects valued between £8 million to £25 million and can be used by over 40 local authorities spanning an area from Devon to Kent.

This is one of three frameworks planned for the region and covers large-scale civil engineering and highways infrastructure work over the next four years.


Rex Burgess, Framework Manager at BAM Nuttall, said: "Bam Nuttall are pleased and excited to be part of the Generation 3 Framework Community. We look forward to providing support to ensure successful delivery for key schemes to the individual authorities engaged in this framework."

Mark Davies, MD Carillion infrastructure said: "We are pleased to be selected as part of this framework. We bring to it our wide skills and experience in infrastructure services. The roads network plays a vital role in ensuring economic prosperity and we look forward to working with the local authorities on a range of important projects."

Gerry Curran, Skanska Operations Director, said: "This innovative model is an excellent example of how strategic regional planning can ensure local resources are used efficiently. We're looking forward to helping our colleagues at the council to deliver their infrastructure vision over the coming years."
