Galliford Try’s Building business has been reappointed by the Southern Construction Framework (SCF) to the £4.5bn fifth generation SCF Construct Framework.
The business has been appointed to three regional lots of the four-year framework, covering the South West, South East and London regions, which provide a procurement route for construction services to local authorities and public sector bodies across the south of England.
Galliford Try has been a long-term member of previous iterations of the framework, which is an ethical vehicle for delivery based on greater transparency and governance. For this fifth generation, SCF has selected contractors that can demonstrate exemplary carbon benchmarking assessment for all builds and has prioritised carbon retrofit capabilities as part of its industry leading Carbon and Social Value targets.
Gavin Bridge, Managing Director for Galliford Try Building Southern, commented: “We’re delighted to have re-secured our place on SCF Construct. Over the last twelve years, we have delivered 28 projects through the framework, totalling more than £330m, and we look forward to continuing to build on this proud track record.”
Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, added: “The SCF has been a fantastic procurement route for our Building business and represents a key strand of our Sustainable Growth Strategy. We are delighted that we will be working once again with our partners at the SCF as we continue to deliver a proud track record of high-quality public sector buildings across the region.”
Kingsley Clarke and Adam Sanford, SCF Operation Leads, said: “It was important for us in approaching this latest SCF Construct bidding process to ensure that it was an open and transparent process to attract a broad base of contractors with proven expertise. We are delighted to be able to reappoint Galliford Try with whom we have developed a long-term, collaborative relationship.
“We have high expectations of our contractor partners in terms of the support, input, and contributions they make to ensure the continued success of the framework, and Galliford Try continues to demonstrate that they are a willing and proactive partner.”
