Link road project for Morgan Sindall

摘要

Morgan Sindall has edged out bids from BAM Nuttall, Galliford Try and Kier to land the first stage of a £65m job to build the Carlisle Southern Link Road. The project to deliver the 8km stretch of highway is being delivered by Cumbria County Council through a two-stage design and build early contractor involvement (ECI) contract Morgan Sindall's bid, which also includes input from local contractor Story Construction, has a 12-month ECI deal and the detailed design phase, which is worth £4.5m. This will culminate in the two sides agreeing a second stage deal for the price of the construction. Morgan Sindall is also working with consultant Capita Symonds, which worked for the council and helped the scheme secure planning permission last October.
