Architects among winners on Aston university framework

Four architecture practices have claimed places on a new Aston university framework.

The Birmingham university has unveiled a five-lot framework across a range of disciplines that will provide work on its capital developments programmes.

Broadway Malyan joins Midlands-based practices Associated Architects, Glancy Nicholls and Robothams on the four-year framework.

The framework is expected to be worth £6.25m over the period, with the architectural consultancy services lot accounting for almost half of that figure.

The four practices will share in up to £3.6m of work over the lifespan of the framework which covers both new-build and refurbishment schemes.
