Kier has partnered with Western Power Distribution\u2019s framework to deliver planned and reactive works across the East and West Midlands<\/h2>\n

After previous success in many areas across the Midlands, Kier will deliver excavation, cable laying and reinstatement works, including a 24\/7 reactive service that is said to be valued at approximately \u00a330m.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the framework, Simon Havill from Western Power Distribution said: \u201cWe have built a strong reputation for delivering a reliable and safe electricity supply to homes and businesses, while offering the highest quality customer service.<\/p>\n

“We look forward to working with Kier in the Midlands to help us maintain our high performance standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Starting in September 2018 the framework agreement is set for an initial three years, which could be extended by a further two.<\/p>\n

Kier will play a pivotal role in supporting Western Power Distribution\u2019s 11kV to 33kV electrical works network that serves five million\u00a0homes across the Midlands, spanning Gloucester to Coventry and Kidderminster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Barry McNicholas, executive director of Kier Utilities said: \u201cOur collaborative and longstanding partnership with Western Power Distribution across the South West region is testament to the trusted service that we provide.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to have secured a place on WPD\u2019s two Midlands frameworks meaning our skills and experience can be utilised in new areas of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great example of how we have effectively blended the strengths and expertise of our teams to secure a new pipeline of work and we look forward to providing planned and reactive services to millions of homes and businesses across the Midlands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 2004, Kier has worked closely with Western Power Distribution to provide similar electrical works throughout the South-West of England.<\/p>\n

Throughout the Midlands and over the past year, Kier has laid over 450km of cable, responded to 4959 ‘fault’ call outs and delivered an estimated 7,000 planned jobs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
