Morgan Sindall Construction has secured a place on the new £1 billion South East & Mid Wales collaborative construction framework (SEWSCAP).
This follows on from the firm's success on the existing SEWSCAP framework, which has saw the contractor deliver nine schools, supporting more than 6,000 school places.
The new four-year framework will be used by more than 20 Welsh councils and public bodies for schools, leisure facilities and municipal buildings.
Rob Williams, Morgan Sindall Construction's area director for Cardiff, said: "We've worked through SEWSCAP since its inception. Over almost a decade, we have developed excellent relationships with both our customers who count on the framework, and with subcontractors and consultants in the supply chain, crucial to the success of our projects.
"Collectively, we've built impressive, modern primary and secondary schools which are enabling a genuine step change in the delivery of education across the country.
"Across the UK we're also a construction partner of choice for universities looking to improve their estate, and for local authorities investing in leisure facilities and community projects. We're looking forward to bringing that know-how to bear in Wales through this latest iteration of SEWSCAP and proud to continue our tenure on it."
Morgan Sindall has been appointed on four lots of the framework, which range from £3m projects all the way up to £100m schemes.
Sean Bowles, managing director for Morgan Sindall Construction's Central region, added: "We take pride in creating inspiring learning environments fit for 21st century education and modern municipal facilities key to the growth of communities. But delivering the physical spaces is a given for a main contractor with our technical capability.
"What sets us apart is a commitment to ensuring that each and every project delivers a lasting legacy beyond the bricks and mortar of the build process. From providing opportunities in our supply chain for local businesses, to inspiring young minds to consider a rewarding career in construction through school engagement, our approach ensures measurable social value for the communities in which we operate.
"Progressive frameworks like SEWSCAP greatly facilitate this way of working and we're incredibly pleased to have been selected for its third generation."
