The new frameworks include a total of six supply chains of building, mechanical and electrical, and civil engineering across low and medium complexity works.

These contractors will help Gatwick deliver on the next phase of transformation, which has already seen 拢1.3bn invested since Gatwick entered private ownership in 2009.鈥�
