By GlobalData“Keeping all our housing stock up to an acceptable standard is a big challenge, but it is essential that we provide our tenants with the best service possible, in particular ensuring that all repairs are carried out to a high standard and on time. So I look forward to working with Equans, ensuring that our housing repair service meets the needs of all our tenants, and will be monitoring its effectiveness carefully.”
Equans UK & Ireland divisional CEO Colin Macpherson said: “We are delighted that the council has decided to extend our successful partnership which, thanks to our exceptional team in the region, has delivered first-rate customer service to residents across the city over the last five years.
“We recognise that the council has a big challenge in keeping its housing stock up to an acceptable standard of repair, while ensuring that many more properties across the city are made warmer, safer and more energy efficient, and we stand ready to support them in this.”
The new two-year contract is set to become effective from 1 April.
