Kier Places has secured its place on the £600m YORbuild3 Minor Works framework, having been appointed on all five sub-regional frameworks for Lot 2, which covers new build and refurbishment projects valued between £1m-£4m.
YORbuild3 Minor Works will run for four years. It is available to local authorities and other public and third sector organisations across the Yorkshire and Humber region, the North East, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire.
The fifth-generation framework supports the UK Government’s Construction Playbook and Construction Innovation Hub’s Value Toolkit. It puts greater emphasis on Modern Methods of Construction and offsite solutions, carbon reduction and a more enhanced sustainability offer.
Kier is fully aligned to the Value Toolkit and Construction Playbook and Kier Places will support these methods to deliver innovative, sustainable projects, working collaboratively with colleagues in Kier Construction who have held positions on YORbuild frameworks since their formation in 2009.
This is the latest framework award Kier Places has secured, with others including the Crown Commercial Service’s £35bn framework.
Mark Whittaker, managing director of Kier Places, said: “We’re proud to have been appointed to the YORbuild3 minor works framework, where we will look to provide a first-class service for clients.
“We have an extensive footprint in these areas, and with a network of local and trusted supply chain partners, we can deliver for local authorities and public sector organisations, leaving lasting, positive legacies in the communities where we work.”
