G F Tomlinson<\/a> has been selected as a key contractor on the new \u00a3500m 10-year construction framework, focusing on improving higher education facilities in the West Midlands<\/h2>\n

The new framework will concentrate on the enhancement and development of the University of Birmingham<\/a>\u2019s own estate as well as procuring capital projects over the next decade. It is also available to other higher education institutions across the UK.<\/p>\n

G F Tomlinson has been appointed to deliver projects between \u00a32.5m to \u00a310m and was successfully selected on its ability to demonstrate understanding of the challenges and requirements within the higher education sector, as well as capability of working collaboratively with universities to deliver high-quality buildings on time and within budget whilst achieving a high level of social value.<\/p>\n

University of Birmingham<\/h3>\n

The University of Birmingham has significantly invested in its campuses in the last decade and the framework will enable the delivery of innovative academic spaces<\/a> to facilitate the Russel Group university\u2019s world-leading research and will support ambitious infrastructure and capital development plans as part of this.<\/p>\n

As part of the university\u2019s collaborative strategy to build strong, long-term relationships between key contractors and consultants in the construction, design and surveying industries \u2013 all contractors will be encouraged to collaborate and collectively develop opportunities for social value, environmental enhancement and sponsorships, to bring benefits to the higher education sector.<\/p>\n

High quality, sustainable projects in the higher education sector<\/h3>\n

Chris Flint, G F Tomlinson\u2019s framework director, said: \u201cWe are delighted to have been successful in our bid for the University of Birmingham\u2019s new framework, which will see us build strong, long-term relationships with the University of Birmingham and its selected contractors and consultants to deliver the University\u2019s ambitious expansion plans for campuses over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have established a reputation for delivering high quality, sustainable projects in the higher education sector, creating environments which nurture academic learning, research and collaboration. This appointment provides further opportunities to build on this with the University and other HE institutions whilst at the same time reinforcing our presence in the West Midlands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan Jones, head of procurement, said: \u201cThe University of Birmingham has always prided itself on its scale of ambition to deliver first-rate services and resources for its students and staff. With a planned additional infrastructure investment of \u00a3500m over the next few years, we also wanted to develop further procurement opportunities by creating our own University construction framework.<\/p>\n

“This framework not only allows the University to optimise its value for money but is also available for other universities to use and benefit from the collective spending power and contractor relationship development.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy working closely with our key contractors, we can collectively develop additional opportunities with initiatives such as social value, environmental enhancements and sponsorship opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
