## Description

Kier Transportation are looking to engage experienced and qualified contractors to carry out Earthworks, Drainage, and Maintenance works pertaining to our Ullswater Community College package\. The works include constructing a 106m x 68m natural turf rugby pitch along with associated pitch drainage system located at Ullswater Community College, Penrith\.
