Rok Wins BAA Contract

Contractor Rok has been awarded a £130 million improvements contract from airport owner BAA, it has been reported.

The new Commodity Build Framework will cover alterations, refurbishments and building work in service and public areas at the airports and is in addition to the long term framework agreement Rok already has with BAA for smaller improvement works.

The company is already part of a BAA framework for smaller refurbishment projects, but this new deal will see Rok work on a number of building improvement projects valued between £2mill and £20mill at airports across the UK including Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Southampton, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Rok chief executive Garvis Snook said: “BAA quite rightly sets extremely high standards for its suppliers and we are pleased that we are able to meet and often exceed these. It is great news for all of us that our work has been extended by this new framework.”
