Robertson Secures Place On £7bn Scape Framework

Robertson has secured a place on Scape Group's £7 billion National Construction framework.

The company has been appointed to the Scottish lot of the programme, with a total value of £750 million.

Other successful contractors include Willmott Dixon (Lots 1 and 2), Wates (Lot 4) and Lendlease (Lot 5).

Supported by over 70,000 SMEs in the supply chain network, the framework will help deliver a wide range of projects across the UK including regeneration schemes, new primary and secondary schools, universities and colleges, hospitals, central government buildings and new housing.

Mark Robinson, Scape Group Chief Executive, said: "Willmott Dixon, Robertson, Wates and Lendlease evidenced the right blend of quality and value offers, along with the expertise and capacity to deliver the diverse needs of the public sector both now and in the future.

"The possible Brexit cost to the construction sector due to a loss of EU talent, the increased costs of building material imports and higher tariffs could be significant. Therefore a robust and stable delivery model led by strong contractors and supported by local enterprise, will be an important delivery option for the public sector as we progress through the next four years."
