Commenting on its success in making the framework, Alun Rhys Owen, regional director for project and cost management in Wales and the South West at Mott MacDonald, said: “This appointment is a testament to our shared principles of collaborative working, continual improvement, and development of best practice and sustainability, enabling us to deliver best value.

“Our strength lies in overcoming complex challenges to deliver benefits for clients and the communities they serve.

“Through enhanced health and community facilities, we improve health and wellbeing, and we look forward to supporting NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP), health boards, and trusts in successfully delivering this crucial capital investment in Wales.”

Simon Williams, regional managing director (South) at Gleeds, adds: “These frameworks will play a huge role in Wales’s long-term plan to help the economy and provide better support for local communities, and we’re proud to be part of that.

“Being appointed once again to the framework is a testament to our team’s commitment to achieving successful outcomes for our clients and the communities they work for.”
