The Crown Commercial Services (CCS) framework has been developed to allow construction firms the chance to bid for work on government projects over the next seven years.
The Construction Works and Associated Services commercial agreement will assist central government and the wider public sector with projects focused on the construction, refurbishment, repair, demolition or decommission of public buildings across the UK.
The Framework is split into eleven primary lots and Interserve was successful in being chosen for the majority of the lots, especially those that are core to the framework, covering construction works and management, residential and high-rise accommodation worth from £3m upwards.

Andrew Jowett, Divisional Director at Interserve Construction, added: "This a significant contract win to add to our Framework portfolio of work following on from our recent success in securing a place on four Frameworks with Yorkshire Water worth £2bn.
