Carillion named preferred bidder for 12-year Canada highways maintenance contract expected to be worth over £100 million
Carillion Canada has been selected by the Ministry of Transportation Ontario as the preferred bidder for the Area Maintenance Contract (AMC) Peel/Halton in Ontario that is expected to be worth over £100 million over 12 years.
Under this contract, Carillion Canada will provide routine inspection and maintenance services, including snow clearance, together with minor capital works, for over 1,000 kilometers of 2-lane equivalent highway. A Carillion joint venture was the incumbent maintenance contractor for the Halton area, which has been combined with the Peel area under this new and extended AMC.
This latest AMC further strengthens Carillion Canada's position as a leading supplier of highways maintenance services in Ontario. Carillion Canada has a similar market leading position in Alberta and we continue to look for opportunities to extend our operations to other Provinces in Canada.
Commenting, Carillion Chief Executive, Richard Howson, said: ''This latest success reinforces Carillion's position as the leading private sector provider of highways maintenance services in Ontario. Over the last eighteen months, we have won long-term highways maintenance contracts in Ontario and Alberta worth over £720 million, which is making a significant contribution to organic growth in our support services activities in Canada."
