UK infrastructure services, construction and property group Kier, alongside Joint Venture Partners McAvoy and Metek, have been appointed to a new £10 billion Offsite Construction Solutions (OCS) framework. The new framework replaces the existing modular building framework and consists of six lots due to run until 2027, potentially extending to 2030.
McAvoy is one of the UK and Ireland's market leaders in the precision manufacture and delivery of high-quality modular buildings. Gloucestershirebased Metek has been at the forefront of light steel framing for many years.
The two joint ventures, Kier McAvoy and Kier Metek, will allow for the delivery of high-quality, innovative, and precision design. Kier McAvoy will deliver projects using pre-manufactured 3D primary structural systems. Kier Metek will deliver projects using pre-manufactured 2D primary light steel structural systems.
The OCS framework consists of six lots determined by Crown Commercial Service (CCS). These include built estate, healthcare, residential, justice, defence and thermal efficiency upgrades. The CCS ensures maximum commercial value when procuring public sector common goods and services.
Stuart Togwell, Group Managing Director at Kier Construction, said: "Building on the ambitions of the Construction Playbook of using MMC and offsite solutions to drive improvements is a core imperative for Kier and securing a place on all lots means we are well-placed to support the delivery of vital new infrastructure in the UK. Our forward-thinking JVs with McAvoy and Metek will allow us to provide more capacity and high-quality end-to-end solutions for our public sector clients and to continue to deliver the best value through innovation across the wider industry."
