Willmott Dixon is set to be awarded a £45 million contract to develop a new headquarters (HQ) for Merseyside Police Force.
The contractor is at the pre-construction stage on the scheme, which will see the Force move from its HQ in Canning Place to a new purpose-built facility on Scotland Road.
Overall, Willmott Dixon's workload in Liverpool has surpassed £100m.
The company has already delivered three large secondary schools and has won a £10m contract to create Birtenshaw and New Heights school in Fazakerley.
In addition, the company is awaiting planning permission for a £6m multi-storey car park in Victoria Street, as well well being primed to sign contracts for a new £7m food hub on Edge Lane.
Willmott Dixon's housing arm, Willmott Partnership Homes, is also working with Liverpool City Council, Redrow Homes and Liverpool Mutual Homes, to help deliver 1,500 new homes across the city.
Anthony Dillon, managing director of Willmott Dixon in the North, said: "Our approach is to ensure we benefit the local economy, with up to 60% of spend on companies within the city region. This includes Liverpool-based A&B Engineering who we used on all our secondary school projects."
Mark Robinson, Chief Executive of framework specialist Scape Group, added: "Liverpool City Council and Willmott Dixon have taken significant steps in providing highly-sought after services that play such as vital role in the area.
"From car parks to police headquarters, the rigorous key performance indicators that govern our framework ensures that the community receives a wide and long-lasting social benefit from these projects, including job creation and set levels of local project spend."
