Carillion, Skanska, Taylor Woodrow, Costain and Balfour Beatty make the cut for Vendor Capital Programme but Bovis loses out

Twelve companies have made it onto London Underground's first framework contract under its £2.8bn Vendor Capital Programme.

The firms included in the £450m five-year framework are: Carillion, Skanska, Taylor Woodrow, Costain, Dyer & Butler, Morgan Est, Nuttall, Geoffrey Osborne and YJL Infrastructure, Birse Metro and Balfour Beatty.

William Verry, Fitzpatrick, Bovis Lend Lease, Colas, Murphy and C Spencer failed to make the cut.

The programme, which was delayed by Metronet falling into administration last July, was set up in 2005 to deliver work outside the Tube PPP and to provide a benchmark for the PPP contracts.

  • Morgan Est
  • Skanska Construction
  • Edmund Nuttall

Band three - £30m to £60m
