GALLIFORD TRY APPOINTED AS A MAIN CONTRACTOR FOR £4 BILLION EDUCATION FUNDING AGENCY FRAMEWORK

Galliford Try plc, the housebuilding and construction group, announces that it 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 £4 billion in aggregate, and one of only 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.

Chief Executive Greg Fitzgerald commented: "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."
