Morgan Sindall has secured a place on Transport for London's (TfL) £500 million Surface Transport Major Projects Framework.

The contractor has been appointed to one of three places on the four-year programme, with the framework scheduled to begin early this year.

The scheme involves the design and delivery of TFL's civil engineering construction projects, including the enhancement and refurbishment of highways, tunnels, bridges and other structures across Greater London.

The framework is part of the organisation's £4 billion investment in London's roads. The two other contractors to secure a place are Costain and Skanska.

Nick Fletcher, managing director of infrastructure at Morgan Sindall, said: "The projects within this framework call upon a wide variety of expertise, including highways, bridge and tunnelling skills – all of which we are well-placed to deliver, having a strong project history with similar schemes.

"We are looking forward to starting work and excited for the opportunities this brings as we begin the new year."

Nick Fairholme, TfL's Director of Projects and Programmes, added: "We are delighted to be working with Costain, Morgan Sindall and Skanska over the next four years on a range of high profile and complex civil engineering projects.

"Each contractor brings something unique to the table and all have experience in designing and building major schemes, which will ensure Londoners get these key projects delivered in the most effective and efficient way."
