Kier wins £1.5Bn Scape contract

A successful four-year relationship with Kier continues.

Leading property, residential, construction and services group, Kier, has capped off a successful month of contract wins with the news the Company is the sole contractor for a £1.5Bn contract.

Starting next month, Kier is the sole contractor for the construction and maintenance work for the Scape National Minor Works framework.

This covers the UK and will run for four years, delivering on schemes between £50,000 and £4M, comprising of maintenance, refurbishment and new construction developments.

Open to any public sector company, the framework encompasses a wide range of developments, including schools, police and fire stations, leisure centres, community buildings and town halls.

Kier is ideally positioned to deliver such a large framework thanks to its network of 88 regional offices that can give projects all over the country local expertise and extra employment opportunities for the supply chain and apprenticeships.

Haydn Mursell is the Chief Executive of the Kier Group, and he said: “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.

“Kier and Scape share a very similar ethos and we are both committed to using our extensive market experience to deliver exceptional projects, whilst creating opportunities for employment and training in the locations where we operate.

“We have already delivered a wide range of successful projects together, and we look forward to working on an even broader spectrum of schemes over the next four years.”

The work will build on the four-year partnership between the two companies.

Back in 2011, Kier was awarded the National Minor Works framework which included projects of up to £2M.

After this agreement, the partnership will last for another four years. To date, it has delivered more than 500 successful projects, with a peak of delivering one project a day for six months.

Kier has experienced a great month after securing the £34.5M contract for the improvement works at Parnell House in London.
