PREMIER’S MULTI-MILLION POUND CONTRACT TO PROVIDE MODULAR BUILDINGS FOR COVID19 TESTING IS DOUBLED TO 50 SITES ACROSS THE UK

The multi-million pound contract awarded to Premier Modular, one of the UK’s leading offsite construction specialists, to provide bespoke modular buildings for Covid19 testing has been doubled to 50 sites across the UK.

In the last three months, Premier has invested £7m in its hire fleet to meet the increasing demand for its modular buildings in the healthcare, infrastructure, education and construction sectors. The size of its hire fleet allows a rapid response for major contracts such as the Covid19 testing project.

The extension of the modular building contract for Covid19 testing follows the success of the first phase awarded to Premier by the Department of Health and Social Care for an initial 25 sites from Inverness to Portsmouth. This major national project is supporting the Government in increasing testing capacity in the current pandemic and was procured through the Crown Commercial Service.

Since the first project was delivered in Bolton, Premier has now set up standalone community testing sites in towns and cities across the country including Inverness, Leamington Spa, Dudley, Nottingham, Aylesbury, Buxton and Liverpool. The next batch of sites will be in Leeds, Redcar, Durham and Oadby in Leicestershire.

David Harris, Managing Director of Premier Modular, said “The work our teams have carried out across the country and round the clock has been phenomenal and has been very well received in those communities. Our colleagues continue to pull out all the stops in the factory and on site to set up the testing sites in just two to three days which really is an outstanding achievement given the bespoke nature of the buildings and the complexity of the site requirements. We are delighted this work has been recognised with the doubling of our contract to 50 sites.”
