Six firms have been appointed to work on a £40m property framework for Severn Trent Water.

The three-year framework deal will see Allenbuild, BAM construction and ISG work on large projects of £1m and above.

While, Britcon, Interserve and ISG will look after projects below £1m.

The framework covers the refurbishment and modernisation of the Severn Trent estate, in an area which stretches from the Humber Estuary to the Bristol Channel and from mid Wales to the East Midlands.

Adrian Ringrose, Chief Executive of Interserve said: “This framework further extends our long and successful relationship with Severn Trent and is another important win within the water industry, where we have built a strong market position.”
