R G Carter and Lakehouse also did well in the framework contest securing four of the five lots.

The framework, worth up to £700m, runs for three years with an option to extend for an extra 12 months.

It is split into five lots covering a several project values ranging from £1m to £3m through to project worth more than £15m.

The framework will be used to deliver projects primarily in the education sector, but will also include schemes in social care, health, blue light services, residential and community and public buildings.
