The news comes as Britain’s steelmakers face intense international competition and struggle to recover from the crisis which wracked the industry two years ago and cost thousands of jobs.
The commission said the “quantity and size” of the scaffolding meant that some of the steel used in it had to be procured abroad.
Last year the government pledged to release details of forthcoming infrastructure, public sector and defence projects to boost Britain's steel industry. By spelling out requirements, it is hoped that Britain's beleaguered steel makers will be able to better plan for Government work, giving them a greater chance of winning the contracts.
