Rok Wins £86million framework deal

Rok plc, the property repair and maintenance specialist, has announced wins of framework agreements worth £86 million. Under an arrangement with Moat Housing Association worth £66million, Rok will build a proportion of the new homes it requires in London and the South East of England.

A consortium of 11 social housing providers in the North East of England known as NE Procurement, whose members together own 100,000 properties, has appointed Rok to provide property repairs and maintenance services for the next four years in a framework worth £20m. The work will include installing new bathrooms, heating, windows and doors.

Commenting on the contract wins, Rok’s chief executive, Garvis Snook, said:
“Winning further new framework agreements is a welcome indication for the year ahead. We are particularly encouraged to be awarded a framework from a group of social housing providers which clearly indicates their commitment to maintaining their properties to a high standard after their Decent Homes improvements programmes have come to an end.

“The NE Procurement appointment adds to our successful position on similar consortia arrangements across the North of England, such as Fusion 21, GM Procure, Northern Housing Federation and Cumbria Housing Partners, illustrating the value that our local businesses and direct delivery workforce can add.”
