Galliford Try wins all 10 lots on LHC Procurement Group's £2.34bn PB4 framework

Galliford Try has been appointed to all 10 lots of LHC Procurement Group's £2.34bn Public Buildings Construction and Infrastructure framework, known as PB4, covering public sector building works and hard facilities management across England, Wales and Scotland.

The contractor said on 12 November that the appointment runs through LHC Procurement Group (LHCPG) and its Scottish, Welsh, Northern and South West Procurement Alliances, giving it a place in every region the framework serves.

Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, said: "Pursuing opportunities through high-quality public sector frameworks is a key part of our Sustainable Growth Strategy and we are delighted to be working with our partners at LHCPG to deliver their pipeline for their clients."

Galliford Try said it had also been selected for the hard facilities management element of the framework, alongside the construction lots.

A longer relationship

Galliford Try has worked with LHC before. In October 2021 its Building business was appointed to the predecessor PB3 framework, then valued at £1.6bn.

On PB3, Galliford Try held places in four value bands across the UK excluding Northern Ireland, ranging up to £14m, covering new build and refurbishment and, in the highest band, infrastructure. That four-year framework replaced LHC's earlier School and Community Building framework and covered all public sector buildings.

At the time, Hocking said Galliford Try had already delivered a number of projects through LHC's previous frameworks.

LHC Procurement Group describes itself as a not-for-profit body that has supported public sector organisations with technical procurement for over 50 years. Any surplus generated in a financial year is redistributed to eligible partners, and it has offices and field-based staff throughout England, Wales and Scotland.

The Scottish element

The Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA), part of LHC Procurement Group, set out its plans for PB4 in January 2026. It said then that the framework would be its largest to date, valued at £1bn, and that it expected to launch it in spring 2026.

SPA said PB4 would feature five workstreams, encompassing new build and refurbishment works, civil infrastructure and hard facilities management. Galliford Try's announcement, which gives the £2.34bn figure for the framework as a whole, confirms that hard FM forms part of the final framework.

Framework-led growth

The LHC appointment follows a run of framework and financial announcements from the contractor. On 20 October 2026 it said it had been appointed to the £5bn Pagabo National Framework for Major Works, taking Lot 4 for projects valued from £30m to £60m across the South West, South East and London, and Lot 5 for projects over £60m in Scotland.

Framework	Value
LHC PB3 (2021)	£1.6bn
LHC PB4 (2026)	£2.34bn
Pagabo National Framework for Major Works	£5bn

In its FY2026 results on 17 September 2026, Galliford Try reported adjusted profit before tax of £55.9m, up 24.2%, with revenue up 3% and adjusted profit and earnings per share both growing by more than 20%. Its order book stood at a record £4.3bn, and the company said it was making progress towards a 4.0% margin target for 2030.

In its July 2026 trading update the company said the £4.3bn order book gave it visibility of long-term workload, and that its balance sheet enhanced its ability to secure contracts and frameworks.

Galliford Try has not said when the first call-offs under PB4 are expected.
