Nuttall and Mowlem to share rail work

Two contractors have won a year's extension to their structures framework rail contracts in Scotland.
The deal, known as the Scottish Territory project, means that Edmund Nuttall and Mowlem will share £30m worth of work for Network Rail.
Since 2000, the work has been divided between Nuttall, Mowlem and Carillion.
However, in a competitive tender exercise for the extension scheme, Carillion failed to make the cut, along with Amec and Kier.
The contract includes work on bridges, tunnels, cuttings and embankments throughout Scotland.
It is understood that Network Rail now plans to let the framework project on a 10-year basis and that contractors will be invited to prequalify for this deal later this year.
