Network Rail awarded two contracts totaling GBP 420 million (EUR 475.35 million) for rail projects across Scotland. The contracts have been awarded as Network Rail Scotland prepares to invest over GBP 4 billion (EUR 4.5 billion) in the country’s infrastructure during the next railway control period (CP6) between 2019 and 2024.
BAM Nuttall has been awarded a renewals and enhancements framework covering Scotland and North East England valued at GBP 320 million (EUR 362 million). The framework will see BAM Nuttall, currently the main contractor delivering the Aberdeen-Inverness Improvement Project, complete a wide range of schemes including replacing and refurbishing structures and delivering improvements at stations across the Scotland route.
Lanarkshire-based QTS, already a key provider of specialist engineers and plant working to maintain earthworks and structures across the Scottish rail network, has been awarded a geotech framework contract valued at GBP 100 million (EUR 113 million).
“Work to renew our infrastructure is important to improving reliability for our passengers. Making sure we have the right suppliers to deliver those improvements is paramount and we look forward to continuing to work closely with QTS and BAM Nuttall to maintain and enhance Scotland’s railway,” Kris Kinnear, director of Network Rail Infrastructure Projects Scotland, said.
