Further Framework Awards worth GBP90m
Rok plc, the property repair and maintenance specialist, today announced that it
has won eight significant new awards under framework agreements which are
together expected to generate revenue in the region of GBP90m over the next four
years.
These latest awards bring the total anticipated value of the 22 frameworks won
so far this year to GBP440m, compared with GBP290m worth this time last year.
Based on Rok's ability to provide a nationally managed but locally delivered
maintenance service 24 hours a day and seven days a week, the Group has been
chosen by Wincanton, the UK's second largest logistics company, to provide
planned maintenance, repair and building alteration services for its warehouses
and offices.
A similar arrangement has been agreed with Craegmoor Healthcare, the leading
provider of specialist care and support to people with learning disabilities,
mental health illnesses and older people, for the care homes, colleges and
hospitals they run in Central England and the South East.
In addition, Bracknell Forest Council has become the latest local authority to
take advantage of Rok's planned and response maintenance services for its
schools and public buildings.
Already a leading provider of building improvement and repairs services to the
social housing sector, Rok has been asked to replace kitchens, bathrooms and
heating systems in Bath for Somer Housing Group. In Lancashire, where Rok has
been working on a similar replacement scheme for Wigan and Leigh Housing, it has
now been asked to carry out planned maintenance on the exteriors of its rented
properties.
The other three framework wins are for local authorities and their management
organisations where Rok has existing maintenance services contracts and has now
been asked to build new homes to increase the stock. These are for Your Homes
Newcastle, City West Homes in Westminster and Wigan and Leigh Housing.
Commenting on the successful bids, Rok's chief executive, Garvis Snook, said:
"These eight new framework arrangements illustrate the geographical spread we
have through our extensive network of branches and the range of sectors in which
we operate.
"It is also pleasing to see the diversification of our provision to existing
social housing customers through a combination of good service and excellent
relationships. The fact that we employ so many of our own people to deliver
these services which are available round the clock if required, continues to
prove popular with the market."
