The framework, which will run for four years with an option to extend, is split into five lots each with specialist contractors.

Procurement for the framework will start in January, ready to formally commence in October 2022.

A meet the buyer event is planned for December that will be open to all organisations that have registered their interest.

Katie Bond, group director for sales and building safety, said: “Keeping our residents and buildings safe is our first priority and this framework, the largest assets framework in our history, outlines the scale and ambition of our programme. 

“We have established a dedicated building safety team who will be supported by our framework to carry out the vital work needed to ensure our buildings meet the latest regulations.

“This is a complex, long-term programme that will run for many years and our framework will enable us to be more dynamic once problems are identified and allow works to be carried out swiftly and professionally.”

Elly Hoult, group director of assets, added: “We invest huge amounts each year in the upkeep of our housing stock whether through external redecoration, replacing windows or roofs and making sure kitchens and bathrooms meet modern standards.

“Raising the standards of our homes helps us meet our environmental aspirations, such as having all our homes having energy performance certification of a C-rating or above by 2030 and ensure our residents have somewhere they are proud to call home.

“We look forward to working with those on our framework to best meet the needs of our residents over the coming years.”

Contractors can register interest in the meet the buyer event on a dedicated page.
