The first project, in the southern cluster and is worth £18.4m, will see Galliford Try build 137 homes and a commercial unit in Camborne, Cornwall for the Homes & Communities Agency (HCA) through the DPP southern cluster. Work starts on site in July 2011 and completion is expected by December 2013.
In the central cluster Galliford Try is preferred bidder through the HCA's central delivery partner panel cluster on Birmingham Public Land Initiative South, a £9m project to build 79 homes for Birmingham City Council. Work on site will start in March 2011 and completion is expected in May 2012.
Finally within the northern cluster, Galliford Try has a £2.5m contract to build 25 affordable homes and homes for older people in Carlisle Street, Gateshead for Gateshead Borough Council. Work will start on site in March with expected completion in spring 2012.
Galliford Try chief executive Greg Fitzgerald said: "Securing these three projects across the three delivery partner panel regions demonstrates the value of our position on the Homes & Communities Agency's delivery partner panel and re-enforces our leading market position in affordable homes and regeneration."
Steve Carr, head of economics and new business at the Homes & Communities Agency said: "The delivery partner panel is helping to ensure the whole procurement process is more efficient and cost effective for both the HCA and other organisations using the panel. We have received extremely positive feedback and with the procurement process being fast-tracked, public sector organisations are able to make substantial project cost savings by choosing to select developers through the panel rather than follow a traditional procurement route."
