Starting in early September, the framework will be valid for four years and include schemes valued between £50,000 and £4m.

The first minor works framework awarded to Kier had the upper project value of £2m, and has been increased to £4m in the latest projection.

"Our aim with the new Minor Works framework is to offer more flexibility that will allow the public sector to work more efficiently."

The framework is in compliance with the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and covers schemes such as new constructions, refurbishments and maintenance.
