Richard Steer, Senior Partner at Gleeds, said: "We are delighted to be appointed to the new Framework Agreement which clearly represents a massive investment by the Government in Further Education.

"Gleeds entered into a long and protracted pre-qualification process, which started in the middle of last year and has ended in this gratifying appointment. We were undoubtedly assisted by our nationwide structure of offices which enabled us to meet the LSC criteria of national capability."
