Carillion appointed preferred bidder for 12-year highway maintenance contract in Canada worth over £100 million.

Carillion Canada has been named as the preferred bidder for the Area Maintenance Contract (AMC) 2011-12 London, a 12-year contract worth in excess of £100 million.

The contract will commence in May 2012 and involves the provision of year-round routine maintenance services for Provincial Highways in the London area of Ontario. Under the contract, Carillion will also provide preventative maintenance services, when required, for which additional payments will be received, adding to the overall value of the contract.

This contract follows Carillion's recent success in being awarded similar highways maintenance contracts for the Huntsville area of Ontario and the Eastern Central Region of Alberta, together worth some £200 million over 11 years.

These contract successes have reinforced Carillion's position as the largest provider of outsourced highway maintenance services in Canada and reflects our ability to provide high-quality, cost-effective solutions tailored to the needs of our customers, with whom we have developed long-term partnerships.

Commenting, Carillion 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".
