Construction company Graham has finished the first of three successful contracts for North Lanarkshire Council's £300m Schools and Centres 21 Framework.

The news follows the recent announcement that Graham has been appointed as the sole Supply Chain Partner for a £22m healthcare framework for NHS Lanarkshire, "A Picture of Health".

The education framework involves the delivery of a range of projects including new-build and refurbishment of primary and secondary schools and associated community facilities, in the North Lanarkshire region of Scotland.


As part of the first batch of projects to be released, Graham will undertake the refurbishment and extension of Coltness High School in Wishaw.

This £20m project consists of a mixture of 1, 3, and 4 storey structures, providing a modern school building for 850 pupils. External works will include the reconditioning, replacement and installation of various sports pitches.

Two further school projects are expected to be awarded as part of this Framework to each of the three contractors by January.
