Contractor Kier has been named as preferred bidder to deliver a 拢400m property development programme in Staffordshire.

The firm will work in joint venture with Staffordshire council and the local police and crime commissioner to deliver a ten-year programme across the local public sector estate.

The contractor has also won a 拢200m, four-year extension of its existing highways service role with Northampton council where it will work with consultant WSP.

He added: 鈥淲e look forward to working with our partners to deliver more integrated and effective services, whilst also helping them to drive additional cost savings.鈥�
