Lots 2c and 2d include non-complex works across London & the South-East and the West Midlands, respectively.

The work will be delivered by Kier Infrastructure’s Regional Civil Engineering business and will help to protect canals, reservoirs and river navigations while improving the resilience of towns and cities to mitigate the effect of climate change.

Eddie Quinn, director at Kier Infrastructure Regional Civil Engineering, said: "We are incredibly proud of our longstanding partnership with the Canal & River Trust, carrying out maintenance works and emergency response services at a time when they, and local communities, have needed it most.

"We are delighted to have been appointed to the new Civil Engineering Contract Framework, where we will continue to work collaboratively with the Trust to deliver vital infrastructure projects."
