Galliford Try, the FTSE 250 housebuilding and construction group, has been appointed to both regional segments of the new four-year Education Funding Agency (EFA) contractors framework. Galliford Try's Building business is one of 10 contractors appointed to the framework nationally, worth a potential £4bn altogether, and one of the eight contractors named on both the North and the South sectors. The framework will be the primary means of procurement by government bodies of major capital works for academies, free schools and the capital-funded element of the Priority Schools Building Programme, it explained. Chief Executive Greg Fitzgerald said: "We are delighted to have been selected by the EFA to be one of their key partners going forward. The education sector is a priority both for the nation and for Galliford Try and we look forward to working on the next generation of projects to improve school environments for children all over the country."NR
