               Dear Sir or Madam,
            
            
               1.On 25 July 2018, the European Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of the Merger Regulation by which Amey UK plc (‘Amey’, United Kingdom), belonging to the Ferrovial SA Group (Spain), acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control over the whole of the undertakings CarillionAmey Limited (‘CAL’, United Kingdom) and CarillionAmey (Housing Prime) Limited (‘CAHPL’, United Kingdom), both jointly controlled by Amey and Carillion Holdings Limited (in liquidation) (‘Carillion’, United Kingdom), by way of purchase of shares.
                  3
               
            
            
               2.The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
            
            
               - for Amey: provision of integrated infrastructure support services and facility management services to the private and public sectors in the United Kingdom,
            
            
               - for CAL and CAHPL: provision of repair and maintenance services for certain buildings and assests of the UK Ministry of Defence in the United Kingdom.
            
            
               3.After examination of the notification, the European Commission has concluded that the notified operation falls within the scope of the Merger Regulation and of paragraph 5(d) of the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004.
                  4
               
            
            
               4.For the reasons set out in the Notice on a simplified procedure, the European Commission has decided not to oppose the notified operation and to declare it compatible with the internal market and with the EEA Agreement. This decision is adopted in application of Article 6(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.
