Kier Wins Extension On Birmingham Interim Services Contract
Kier has scooped a six-month extension from Birmingham Highways Ltd (BHL) on its Birmingham Interim Services Contract (ISC).
The extension will run until 30 December 2021.
The contract, which Kier was appointed to in April 2020, was initially due to run for 15 months (with the option to extend) and it includes the city’s traffic operations, planned and reactive maintenance, inspections and winter servicing. BHL have exercised their right to trigger the first extension option available under the contract and will consider further extension in the future.
Work is already underway to procure surveys, extend sub-contracts, identify programmes of work and develop a plan for the delivery of services during the extended period. This plan will include aspects of programmed maintenance, including the continuation of street lighting replacement, surfacing works and capital investment.
Joe Incutti, Group Managing Director for Highways, said: "We are thrilled that we have been awarded this extension, and it is testament to the contract teams hard work and expertise in delivering highways services for local authority roads. We look forward to continuing to provide safe and reliable highway services to communities across Birmingham."
