Others on framework include Kier, Walter Lilly and Thomas Sinden

Ten firms including Bovis, Kier and Wates have places on a £1.5bn framework to provide maintenance and ongoing repair work for the Parliamentary estate.

The work, which will last into the 2030s, has been broken down into four lots – construction schemes worth above £50m, M&E worth between £5m and £50m, work worth up to £50m covering sectors such as heritage, conservation and roofing work and smaller value construction work worth up to £5m.

Bovis, Kier and Wates have all won spots on the biggest value lot with four firms – Dalkia, East West Connect, Emico and Mitie – taking places on the M&E lot.

The framework will run into the 2030s

Kier and Wates are both on the heritage lot along with Walter Liily and Thomas Sinden while the latter tow are also on the smaller value lot, joining DBR, Emico and Mitie.

While it is a separate programme of work to the Restoration and Renewal Programme, the project to restore the Palace of Westminster, the programme is a named user of the framework and some call-off jobs can be novated to the programme’s delivery authority.

The estate comprises over 250,000sq m of floor space, with approximately 70% of the buildings designated as listed, including two grade I-listed buildings, the Palace of Westminster and Norman Shaw North.

The framework replaces the previous Mechanical, Electrical, Public Health and Fabric Safety Framework, with the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons acting jointly as the contracting authority.
