Kier has been appointed to a new £700 million Design and Build Contract framework with Cambridgeshire County Council.

The company has secured a place on all five lots of the three-year programme, which has an option to extend for an additional 12 months;

• Lot 1: £1m to £2.99m

• Lot 2: £3m to £6.49m

• Lot 3: £6.5m to £9.99m

• Lot 4: £10m to £14.99m

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."
