Kier has secured a contract from Cambridgeshire County Council to provide comprehensive maintenance services across its extensive portfolio of corporate buildings.

The contract, which will run until 2027, encompasses a broad range of services including preventative and reactive maintenance, minor project works, along with equipment testing and servicing at the properties.

It has an option to extend for two additional years until 2029 and covers 160 corporate properties throughout Cambridgeshire.

This includes the Council's office buildings, such as the New Shire Hall headquarters, highways depots, libraries, park and ride facilities, and various community and residential care centres.

Kier Places, a division of Kier that specialises in delivering workplace, building, and residential solutions, will be responsible for the execution of these services. The contract also stipulates the provision of round-the-clock help desk support for the Council's estate.

Kier Places managing director Jamie McKechnie said: “We’re delighted to be working with Cambridgeshire County Council to maintain their corporate estate.”

“Collaborative working is an important part of how we work at Kier Places. We have worked in close partnership with the Cambridgeshire team to develop the best solutions for their property portfolio, while also looking at how we can support the Council to better understand their assets and lifecycle plans. We’re now looking forward to putting those plans in to action."

Cambridgeshire County Council facilities management head Chris Finch said: "Cambridgeshire County Council are excited to partner with Kier on the award of the Council’s significant Mechanical, Electric and Buildings Fabric maintenance contract.”

“The Facilities Management team is committed to delivering a professional service in an innovative and efficient way, ensuring our estate is safe and sustainable that enables our colleagues and communities to work together to achieve the Council’s main ambitions.”
