Essex County Council’s £400m construction programme will include BAM Construction, the historic firm that recently built the new multi-storey car park at Stansted Airport.
The Essex Construction Framework 2 (ECF2) comes into force this month (March 2020). The first version of the framework has been responsible for £200m of work over the previous four years.
More than 40 contractors applied for places on the ECF2 which will last for the next four years.
BAM built its first scheme in Essex in 1879, and is known as one of the UK’s leading education contractors, having been named “contractor of the year” at the recent Education Estates Conference. It was also given the Department for Education’s first safety award.
BAM’s team are allowed to tender for projects valued over £4m, along with seven other contractors.
