The contract wins are with three social housing providers: the Arms Length Management Organisation Sandwell Homes, and two councils, Broxtowe Borough Council and Ealing Council.

For existing client Sandwell Homes, SitexOrbis will now also be providing services including house and garden clearance and environmental services, in addition to the flood damage cleaning work that Sandwell Homes recently awarded SitexOrbis.

For new client Broxtowe Borough Council, SitexOrbis will be undertaking house clearances at void properties in the East Midlands. And for existing client Ealing Council, SitexOrbis will be providing security services.

A spokesperson from Ealing Council said: “We are pleased to announce that SitexOrbis has been successful in winning the council’s new property security contract. SitexOrbis has successfully delivered the council’s property security requirements for the last few years under the current contract. Ealing Council is looking forward to the financial and operational benefits that it will obtain under the new contract.”

These wins are further testament to the cost effective and high quality services that we provide. I would like to congratulate the area teams involved and everyone at SitexOrbis for their continued hard work and commitment to excellence.”
