Carillion in £100m Canada deal
Support services giant Carillion has been named preferred bidder for a 12-year area maintenance contract in Canada.
The Wolverhampton-based company's Canadian division has been selected to provide year-round routine maintenance services for Provincial Highways in the London area of Ontario.
Worth up to £100m, the contract will begin in May 2012. Carillion will also provide preventative maintenance services for which additional payments will be received, adding to the overall value of the contract.
The company recently won similar manitenace work contracts for the Huntsville area of Ontario and the Eastern Central Region of Alberta, together worth about £200m over 11 years.
Carillion's chief executive Richard Howson said: "We are delighted to have been chosen to work in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario, to deliver highway maintenance services for the London area of Ontario.
"This announcement further reinforces Carillion's position as the leading private sector provider of highway maintenance services in Canada."
