Peter Commins, managing director of Kier Regional Building North West, said: “Frameworks are hugely important for the Kier Regional Building business and I am pleased that we have been appointed to four lots of this integral northwest framework. We look forward to continuing to deliver projects under this framework and delivering high quality construction projects for the communities we work in.
“The framework provides a great route for procurement for clients in the northwest and Kier has previously delivered 31 projects under NWCH frameworks, including Heron House office refurbishment and FA Parklife.”
Kier, along with Conlon, Eric Wright, Wates, Laing O'Rourke, and ISG are on NWCH’s high value framework, which went live in January, along with Balfour Beatty, Bouygues, Bowmer & Kirkland, John Graham, Seddon and Vinci. [See our previous report here.]

This will be used by public authorities to procure contractors for projects valued at between £500,000 and £3m. Up to nine contractors are wanted for the framework and total value is estimated at between £70m and £120m over the three-year term.
