Our ongoing relationship with DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) spans well over two decades. We have been an appointed Main Contractor on their Engineering Delivery Framework since its original establishment in 2017, and currently hold a place on the following three Lots:

• Lot 1A (Works in Containment Facilities)
• Lot 2A (General Accommodation Works)
• Lot 3A (Site Infrastructure Works)

Under this Framework, we have played a key role in upgrading buildings across DEFRA’s Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) campus in Weybridge. This world-class scientific facility features over 20 high containment laboratories, where the types of projects we’ve delivered include:

• High containment laboratory refurbishments
• Animal Science Unit (ASU) upgrades
• Building Management System (BMS) upgrades
• Plant and MEPH services upgrades (including specialised laboratory services)
• Demolition and enabling works to facilitate wider projects.

A live and operational site, we have maintained positive relationships with a large network of key stakeholders to ensure all works are safely delivered with minimal disruption.
