Kier has followed up its success on the previous Essex Construction Framework with a new appointment.

The firm has now been named on two lots of the second iteration of the framework, Lot 2 for projects valued between £1- 4.5m and Lot 3 for projects exceeding £4m.

The four-year framework, which boasts a combined value of between £35m to £50m per annum, will begin in March 2020 and finish in March 2024. It will oversee the procurement of a range of new build and refurbishment schemes across the education sector.

Mark Dady, managing director at Kier Regional Building Eastern, said: "We're very pleased to have been successfully reappointed to the Essex Construction Framework. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Essex County Council to deliver projects procured through the framework."

On the last version of the framework, Kier completed a £2.5 million project for White Bridge Primary School in Loughton, as well as delivering the largest project - a £31m scheme delivering a primary and secondary school, sports facilities and associated external works in Chelmsford.
