Alun Griffiths Contractors has been directly appointed to deliver Worcestershire County Council’s infrastructure engineering term contract, valued at £40m including VAT.
The deal, set to run from 30 June 2025 to 15 December 2026, covers construction and maintenance of major new and existing highway infrastructure across the county.
The contract was let through a direct award under section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, using grounds that a change in supplier would cause technical incompatibility and operational difficulties.
Alun Griffiths previously held the contract and was retained as part of what the council described as an extension or partial replacement of the existing arrangement.
The award was made public through a transparency notice published on 30 June.
The contract value is £33.3m excluding VAT.
Worcestershire County Council did not disclose whether the deal is paid on a lump-sum or schedule-of-rates basis.
Abergavenny-based Alun Griffiths was sold by former owner Tarmac to its eponymous former owner last month for an undisclosed sum.
The contractor had been consulting staff on plans to restructure earlier this year after reporting its fifth consecutive pre-tax loss.
It last turned a profit in 2018, the year it was acquired by Tarmac for £36m.
