Procure Plus announces two UK-wide agreements totalling over £3.6bn designed to support social housing providers to deliver cost savings without compromising on quality.
Demonstrating a significant expansion in the services they offer; this announcement shows the growing impact of Procure Plus on the social housing sector.
As part of an innovative and wide-ranging new Installation and Repair agreement, Procure Plus has appointed a broad range of specialist companies to work with social housing providers across the whole of the UK, including regional and national lots.
Operating on a substantial scale, the partnership will utilise the appointed contractors in offering extensive installation and repair services. This will include specialists in kitchens, bathrooms, heating, adaptations, electrical, roofing, environmental and estate, windows and doors, low-rise insulation, whole house projects, minor and major repair works to whole properties, commercial heating, and painting and pre-paint repair works.
Also announced is the Goods and Materials (Planned Maintenance Works) agreement, tailored to public sector building projects and ensuring the supply of a wide range of goods and materials needed for completion and maintenance.
Aiming to increase efficiency in public sector construction, the contract will primarily work to support social housing projects, as well as other public buildings such as schools and offices.
The agreements signal a period of significant growth for Procure Plus, allowing for a substantial expansion of their offer across the UK.
Gwen Beeken, Managing Director of Procure Plus said: “We are dedicated to maximising the impact of every £1 spent by social housing providers and these new agreements outline the scale and ambition of our growing programme.
“By partnering with a wide range of local and national contractors, we can deliver not only cost savings but also the highest standard of goods and materials supply, installation, and maintenance services where they are needed most.
“The outstanding organisations selected for the frameworks will not only deliver on quality and cost but also share our commitment to social value, ensuring that communities will benefit from investment and job creation.”
Involving the appointment of hundreds of suppliers nationwide, both arrangements will start from 1st August 2023 for a five-year period.
