GALLIFORD TRY APPOINTED TO £7BN GOVERNMENT EDUCATION FRAMEWORK AND £55M
GALASHIELS CAMPUS PROJECT

Galliford Try, one of the UK's leading construction groups, announces that it
has been appointed to the £7bn Department for Education 2021 Construction
Framework, and separately a new £55m contract to build the Galashiels
Community Campus on behalf of Scottish Borders Council and Hub South East.

Galliford Try has been appointed to eight lots of the new four-year framework,
covering all regions of England. The framework is the main procurement vehicle
for new school buildings within England including through the School
Rebuilding Programme and Free Schools programmes. The previous four-year
framework was worth approximately £258m to the business during its duration.

The Galashiels project will replace the outdated Galashiels Academy building
within Scott Park in the town, utilising the existing site to create a
facility that will accommodate over 1,000 pupils. The project will feature
extensive landscaping that will enable more of the park to return to public
access.

Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, said: "Education is very much
a key sector for our business and a major part of how we intend to deliver our
Sustainable Growth Strategy. We look forward to partnering with the Department
for Education once again, helping them to deliver net zero carbon schools as
part of the 2021 framework and achieve their sustainable education estate.

"Additionally, our Morrison Construction business has an exceptional record in
creating education campuses throughout Scotland and we are delighted to have
been chosen by Scottish Borders Council and Hub South East for the exciting
Galashiels project."
