The framework will be used to deliver projects primarily in the education sector, but will also include schemes in social care, health, blue light services, residential and community and public buildings.

Mark Dady, Kier Construction Eastern managing director, said: "We’re extremely pleased to have secured a place on all five lots of Cambridgeshire County Council’s framework, which will deliver a large number of public sector schemes over the next three years.

"This award is testament to the high-quality work we’ve delivered on previous iterations of this framework and it further strengthens our presence in the region. We’re looking forward to working with Cambridgeshire County Council to provide vital buildings for the community."
