DARESBURY LAB FRAMEWORK SUCCESS FOR SALFORD BASED MC CONSTRUCTION

MC Construction has won a place on a new three-year framework for improvement
works at the internationally-renowned Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire.

Salford-based MC Construction has been appointed by the Science & Technology
Facilities Council (STFC).

Part of the Science & Technology Facilities Council, STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory
has more than 300 staff and is located at Sci-Tech Daresbury, which spans nearly
200,000 sq metres.

MC Construction achieved the highest overall score in the tendering process for
refurbishment, replacement and maintenance projects worth up to £500,000 in value.

Its first-place ranking means it will be awarded all works up to £15,000 in value under
the terms of the framework.

The estimated total spend under the agreement will be up to £2m a year.

Projects will range from minor construction works to extensions and lab and office fit-outs.
