Consultants nab places on Aston university framework

Mace, Gleeds and BDP are among 14 consultants to have claimed places on a new framework for Aston university.

The Birmingham university has unveiled a five-lot deal across a range of disciplines that will provide work to its capital developments programmes.

Firms have been appointed to carry out project management, architectural, M&E, structural and civil engineering and building surveying services.

Ridge is the big winner claiming spots on three of the five lots.

The four year framework is expected to be worth £6.25m over the period, with the architectural consultancy services lot accounting for almost half of that figure.

Firms will work on both new build and refurbishment schemes.
