Scheme to overhaul buildings as part of Palace of Westminster revamp was thought to be worth £500m

Wates’ high-profile contract to upgrade a number of buildings set to contain MPs’ offices in Westminster known as the Northern Estate Programme has been confirmed to be worth £650m.

In a contract award notice published on the Official Journal late last week Wates was officially confirmed as the main contractor on the job, which was originally thought to be worth £500m.

Earlier this month Building revealed Wates had scooped the high-profile job earlier this month, beating out bids from Balfour Beatty and Sir Robert McAlpine.
