Contract Wins for Morgan Est


Morgan Est, the Infrastructure Services division of Morgan Sindall, is pleased
to announce that it has signed an Alliance Agreement with National Grid Transco
('NGT') for its West Midlands alliance project, part of NGT's £1.6 billion
programme of gas replacement works. This follows the award of a Professional
Services Contract in September last year. The Alliance contract is worth up to
£320 million over eight years with a potential five year extension worth up to
£200m. Work on the project is due to commence on April 1, 2005.


Morgan Est has also been selected by Yorkshire Water as one of six partners for
its 'Large Schemes' framework agreement, part of its investment plans for the
next round of its Asset Management Programme, AMP4.  This will involve
competitive target costing and subsequent delivery of water and waste water
schemes in excess of £3-4m, with a reduced number of its partners being selected
to bid for each project.  The agreement will run for five years and the total
value of the schemes is approximately £250m.


Paul Smith, Group Chief Executive, commented:


'We are delighted with the ongoing progress being made by Morgan Est. The final
signing of our Alliance Agreement with NGT secures our entry into the gas market
and the decision by Yorkshire Water recognises our capability and commitment to
the water sector.'
