that the Toffees have appointed Laing O’Rourke as ‘preferred contractor’ to build the new 52,000-capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock on Liverpool’s waterfront.
Last year in December, Everton revealed their final stadium designs ahead of the submission of a detailed planning application, which is expected to be determined by Liverpool City Council in the summer of 2020.
The Toffees have confirmed that construction work on the new stadium is expected to start later this year, subject to planning consent.
A pre-construction services agreement (PCSA) for a design and build contract is due to be signed after a competitive procurement process.
