Kier has been appointed as the FM provider for Cambridgeshire County Council’s corporate estate.

The contract will be delivered by Kier Places, Kier’s workplace solutions arm, and will span building, mechanical and electrical maintenance services across a portfolio of 160 corporate buildings. This includes the council’s new headquarters at New Shire Hall, libraries, highways depots, park & ride facilities, child and family centres, community hubs, and adult and children respite homes.

Kier will provide services such as preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, minor project works, and equipment servicing and testing at corporate properties across Cambridgeshire, alongside 24/7 help desk services. 

The contract runs to 2027 with the option of two one-year extensions to 2029.

Jamie McKechnie, Managing Director of Kier Places, 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.”

Chris Finch, Head of Facilities Management at Cambridgeshire County Council, 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.

“We are excited to begin our new five-year partnership with Kier, that will ensure we are enhancing our infrastructure and the smooth operation of our council buildings. This collaboration underlines and further strengthens our dedication to support the transformation and improvement of our communities and places.”
