By GlobalDataHealth Facilities Scotland director Gordon James said: “Our NHS is under immense pressure due to the current pandemic, and the need for future-proof healthcare facilities is paramount.
“Frameworks Scotland 3 provides our customers with peace-of-mind, knowing we have a team of leading construction firms like Kier, eager to support new build and refurbishment projects.
“Following our success with the recent NHS Louisa Jordan development we are looking forward to progressing a range of exciting and meaningful projects across NHS Scotland.”
The latest contract follows Kier’s successful delivery of vital healthcare facilities across Scotland as part of Frameworks Scotland 2.
This includes work on Golden Jubilee expansion programme, upgrades to Royal Cornhill Hospital and delivery of NHS Louisa Jordan in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Last year, the construction company was appointed by Swansea Council to convert Bay Studios in Swansea into a field hospital with 850 beds for NHS in Wales.
