The four-year framework includes civil engineering, transportation and infrastructure packages ranging from £50,000 to £10m.

The framework has been split into two lots of £250m – one covering jobs in Hampshire and south-east England and the other covering the South-West.

It is also available to a host of other public sector bodies including 116 local authorities and 51 NHS trusts.

Eight firms have been appointed to each lot with other firms including Dyer and Butler, Alun Griffiths and Mildren Construction.

The framework will run for four years starting from 1 April this year.
