GALLIFORD TRY LED CONSORTIUM AGREES MAJOR PUBLIC SECTOR PARTNERSHIP IN SOUTH EAST SCOTLAND

Having been selected as the preferred private sector partner for the development of £300 million of community facilities across South East Scotland over the next 10 years earlier this year, Galliford Try is pleased to announce that the group has reached agreement formalising its position.

Galliford Try will be working as part of the SPACE consortium - which includes Davis Langdon Investments and Fulcrum Infrastructure Group - and in conjunction with the South East hub Territory Partnering Board, Scottish Futures Trust, Councils, NHS Health Boards and the Emergency Services.

The hub initiative will deliver development of modern joint facilities for the public sector and is based on a single-point-of-delivery model in which the role of the private sector development partner can encompass all stages from strategic planning through to project delivery, funding and facilities management via an integrated supply chain.

The first hub project, to get underway later this year, is the design and build of a new library and community joint facility in west Edinburgh with an initial capital investment of £5.7 million.

Greg Fitzgerald, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented:

"We are delighted to have reached an agreement on this significant partnership with the South East hub Territory Partnering Board in Scotland.  This deal demonstrates how the combined skill of Galliford Try's construction and infrastructure division, supported by Investments, enables us to deliver major public sector partnering schemes."
