McLaren Construction has won the first contract let under the Royal Mail’s new £300 million framework deal.

The four-year framework deal covers new build and refurbishment work for the postal giant across the country and will be worth £40-50 million a year plus the option of a two-year extension.

McLaren will start work later this month on the first job let under the arrangement – a £1.5 million refurbishment of a letter sorting office in Warrington, Cheshire.

Work is due for completion next Spring with McLaren confident the job will be the first of many under the framework.

McLaren was confirmed in September as one of seven contractors to win a place on the four-year framework which covers new build and refurbishment work on mail centres, delivery offices, regional distribution centres, workshops and depots.

The seven contractors on the framework are McLaren, John Sisk & Son, Longcross Construction, Mace, Miller, Volker Fitzpatrick and Wates.
