Published by New Charter for New Charter Housing Trust Group in Housing

BULLOCK Construction has been named as the provider of Gedling Homes External Works Programme.

This project was tendered through the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), with the tender process taking nine months to complete.

Bullock fended off competition from 19 contractors, impressing the procurement, made up of staff, tenants and leaseholders, with the strength of its tender submission.

The contract signing took place at Gedling House on the 20th May 2011 with senior members of both Gedling Homes and Bullock.

A pilot scheme has already been completed at Walton Court, including improvements to fencing, gates, hard standings, paths, walls, roofs and porch canopies.

Works is now set to start on the main three year programme focusing in Netherfield and Carlton.

A full refurbishment of bungalows at Cavendish Road will include the re-building of all external walls and the insulation of all precast reinforced concrete (PRC) properties throughout the borough where necessary.

Gedling Homs Managing Director Lynn Clayton said:  “The pilot has been most successful and has transformed the street visually.

“Now that the pilot scheme has been successfully completed, we look forward to working with Bullock on an exciting three year programme of improvements.  The partnership is a huge stride forwards in providing a high quality environment for customers.”
