Rok wins major Highlands contract 
 
Rok plc (LSE:  ROK), the maintenance and building services group is pleased to 
announce that it has won a framework contract for Highlands and Islands 
Enterprise (HIE), the Scottish Government's economic and community development 
agency. 
 
The framework, for which Rok is the sole contractor, will be worth up to GBP32m 
over four years. The Company, which held HIE's previous Prime Contractor 
Framework, won the contract following a five-way tender to renew the deal. 
 
Under the framework, Rok will undertake every stage of most of HIE's building 
projects across the entire Highlands and Islands region, from design right 
through to construction and completion, in conjunction with supply chain 
members. 
 
Rok already has extensive experience of working with HIE, completing the GBP22m 
Centre for Health Science in Inverness, which provides academic and practical 
facilities to medical, nursing and dental students from the Universities of 
Stirling and Aberdeen, as well as UHI, the prospective University of the 
Highlands and Islands. 
 
Commenting on the contract win, Rok's Chief Executive, Garvis Snook, said: 
 
"Being re-appointed to deliver the Prime Contractor Framework underlines the 
high quality of our work and the strong relationship we have developed with HIE. 
We look forward to continuing to work closely with HIE throughout the new 
framework contract. 
 
"Our selection is a reflection of the Company's commitment to the region. We 
continue to demonstrate our investment in skilled teams around the country 
allowing us to take on projects across the UK." 
 
Keith Bryers, Head of Property & Infrastructure at HIE said: 
 
"We welcome Rok's new appointment in the face of some very high-quality 
competition and look forward to working with the Rok team on infrastructure and 
building projects across our region, many of which will be challenging in terms 
of timescale and location."
