Carillion secures £100m Canadian maintenance contract
A DIVISION of Black Country-based support services giant Carillion has secured a contract worth in excess of £100m to supply highway maintenance services in Canada.
Carillion Canada has been named as the preferred bidder for the Area Maintenance Contract (AMC) 2011-12 London.
The 12-year contract will begin in May 2012 and involves the provision of year-round routine maintenance services for Provincial Highways in the London area of Ontario. Under the contract, Carillion will also provide preventative maintenance services, when required, for which additional payments will be received, adding to the overall value of the contract.
The contract follows Carillion’s recent success in being awarded similar highways maintenance contracts for the Huntsville area of Ontario and the Eastern Central Region of Alberta, together worth some £200m over 11 years.
The contract successes reinforce Carillion’s position as the largest provider of outsourced highway maintenance services in Canada.
Richard Howson, Carillion chief executive, said: “We are delighted to have been chosen to work in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario, to deliver highway maintenance services for the London area of Ontario. This announcement further reinforces Carillion’s position as the leading private sector provider of highway maintenance services in Canada.”
