A dozen firms secured places on the two lot framework that will run for four years and covers an estate of more than 800 properties, both inside and outside of the Square Mile.

Projects procured through the framework are expected to include construction and refurbishment works to various corporate and public buildings, including the Bank of England estate, schools, City of London Police stations, and the Barbican Centre.

Richard Dobson, Morgan Sindall Construction’s area director for London, said: “This is a key framework covering many of the capital’s most iconic and important buildings and locations and we are delighted to have been appointed.

“We look forward to drawing on our extensive experience delivering high-quality projects in central London as we work in partnership with the City of London to support their estates strategy.”
