We’re maintaining 3,000 homes across South Derbyshire
We have started our new partnership with South Derbyshire District Council to deliver planned and responsive housing maintenance works to the Council’s 3,000 properties.
The contract will run for an initial two years with potential extensions for a further two years and will see our teams carry out a range of day to day and specialist works. These include responsive repairs and planned external works to specialist aids and adaptations to make homes accessible and reactive works to the Council’s corporate buildings.
Through this partnership, we will support the delivery of the Council’s 2024 – 2028 Plan through its expertise in delivering maintenance works at scale, innovative working practices and exceptional track record with resident engagement and social value. These are qualities that will help improve lives and communities in South Derbyshire and help the Council achieve their goal of modernising and transforming its services.
South Derbyshire District Council have an ambitious plan to improve homes and services for years to come. We are excited to work in partnership with them to deliver quality and safe homes for residents across the district.
This partnership is a fantastic opportunity to improve the homes and lives of residents, building on our capabilities and delivery expertise across the Midlands.”
