Scape Appoints Kier To £1.5bn Framework

Scape Group has appointed Kier to its National Minor Works framework.

The framework is worth up to £1.5bn over the next four years.

Kier was first appointed to the Minor Works framework in 2011.

The scheme was developed to support a wide range of requirements and has delivered over 500 projects across the UK.

These include the construction of new primary school classrooms, university campus refurbishments, a fire service training centre, a Mind (mental health) drop-in centre and a new food market which formed part of a city centre regeneration programme.

The first Minor Works framework was designed to deliver new build, maintenance or refurbishment programmes valued between £50,000 and £2m.

However, the new framework will offer a substantially increased upper project value of £4m.

Mark Robinson, Scape Group Chief Executive, said: "Kier has successfully established the Minor Works framework as a highly valued service for the public sector. The team have executed over 500 projects with a quality approach, a steadfast focus on creating client value and a continued passion for stimulating local economic growth. We are therefore pleased to announce we will continue to work with the team to deliver an optimised Minor Works framework offering."

Haydn Mursell, Kier Group chief executive added: "This agreement provides an ideal opportunity to build on the excellent relationship we have already developed with Scape Group, cementing our role as a leading provider of solutions to the public sector and underlining the strength of our national construction offering."

As with Scape's previous national frameworks, the Minor Works framework is Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) compliant, which removes the need for long tender processes.
