Kier Group secure trio of construction frameworks totalling over £5bn

Kier Group plc, the property, residential, construction and services group, has secured over £5bn worth of new frameworks for its Construction division.

All of the frameworks were awarded to the Group since its trading update on 4th July, in which the company provided a long-term pipeline of potential contract awards.

Among the new contracts include a place on the four-year, £4bn Department of Health Procure22 framework as one of six principal supply chain partners which commences in October.

Kier Construction is a major provider in the health sector having delivered over £170m of health projects over the last twelve months.

The Group also secured a place as one of five suppliers on two five-year construction frameworks worth up to £750m at Gatwick Airport.

The frameworks cover building and civil engineering projects up to £10m as well as a smaller works framework for building projects up to £1.5m.

In addition, Kier was awarded a place on the two-year, £500m University of Cambridge Framework to provide a range of facilities including laboratories, teaching and lecture spaces and sport facilities.

Haydn Mursell, Kier Group chief executive, said: “These awards demonstrate the breadth of our offering and the strength of our relationships with clients across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, aviation and education.

“Such awards, which account for approximately half of our UK regional building revenues, enable us to work closely with our clients to deliver on their long-term requirements and they further bolster our strong Construction order book.”
