Four contractors have been chosen by the University of Strathclyde for its Framework for Major Building Construction to support the delivery of its ongoing Capital Investment Plan for construction work exceeding £4 million.

Kier Construction Scotland will join Balfour Beatty and Interserve in securing places on the framework. Morrison Construction announced its place on the Framework last week.

The University of Strathclyde has invested £350m over the last ten years in improving and developing its estates and facilities to support its goal to be the Leading International Technological University.

This latest Framework has a value of £250m with typical project values likely to be between £4m to £50m with the potential for both new build and refurbishment. This four year Framework also includes the potential usage by Renfrewshire Council and Renfrewshire Leisure Limited.

Kier Construction Scotland is already an equity stakeholder and Tier One contractor in hub South West Scotland and a Tier One contractor on hub North and hub East Central.

Brian McQuade, Kier Construction Scotland’s managing director, said: “We are delighted to be appointed as a contractor to the University of Strathclyde Framework. We believe that Kier has a great deal to offer the partnership and we are looking forward to working closely with the team and supporting local communities by creating employment and educational opportunities.”
