Shaun Carter, Managing Director of Carillion Government Services, said: "We are delighted to have been chosen to deliver these two contracts, which represent Carillion's continuing focus on delivering value for money solutions to the health sector.

"These are among the first significant contracts to be awarded by the NHS under the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) Property and Facilities Management Framework Agreement.
