QTS Group is among five organisations that will receive a share of up to £1.3bn worth of contracts to keep Scotland’s Railway safe and reliable for the next five years.
Network Rail has announced the contracts as part of the new Scotland Civils Framework – a three Lot agreement between the company and the contractors.
Taziker Industrial, AmcoGiffen, STORY and QTS have been awarded work, while VolkerRail will get its first ever major contract on Scotland’s Railway.
The contracts will fund buildings, civils, structures, earthworks, drainage, renewals, and enhancement projects across the country.
This includes:
- Lot A – minor civils up to £150m to Taziker Industrial
- Lot B – buildings and civils up to £730m to AmcoGiffen and Story
- Lot C – geotechnical and minor civils up to £420m to QTS
VolkerRail, which regularly completes projects on the network in England and Wales, will deliver up to £150m of signalling, power and communications works.
Each of the contracts are for five years, with a three-year extension option based on performance.
”We’re investing up to £1.3bn in these framework contracts to maintain and improve our infrastructure across Scotland.
