Kier has cemented its position as a top three utilities player in the UK with a place on a Yorkshire Water framework.
The five-year £750 million AMP7 Complex Civils Framework covers maintenance for the utility, including civil and structural engineering as well as construction and refurbishment works associated with above and below ground assets.
The Yorkshire Water contract begins in September and includes an option for a three-year extension.
Kier Utilities will deliver work on operational treatment, collection and distribution facilities, including process treatment and water retaining structures.
Barry McNicholas, Group Managing Director, Kier Utilities said: "We are delighted to have been awarded a place on the Yorkshire Water framework particularly as this is a new client for Kier Utilities. This award builds on our recent award on the five-year Severn Trent framework, a client where we have a long partnership. Such awards provide visibility and stability to our order book and with the AMP7 well underway, we anticipate further awards in the coming months."
Mark Baker, Head of Programme Delivery at Yorkshire Water added: "We are excited to see the conclusion of this process and welcome our partners to support our ambitions and challenges into AMP7.
"They will assist in the formation of a truly collaborative, innovative and efficient delivery vehicle to help meet our Enterprise delivery model aspirations.
"The alignment of our objectives and a Programme First approach is a new direction for Yorkshire Water and we are confident that our partners can support this ambition."
