Carillion were not awarded contracts for the Phase One enabling works (termed the Enabling Works Contracts or EWC). Carillion were originally part of the joint venture CEK that was awarded two of the main work civils contracts. These contracts are being taken forward by Kier and Eiffage, the other parties to the CEK joint venture. Each company's Boards have both given that assurance and confirmed that they underwrite the performance of each other and have the capacity to deliver the HS2 contracts under the same terms, including cost and schedule.
