Property services firm retains £450k gas servicing contract
Knowsley-based property services business, Liberty, has retained the servicing contract for communal gas and biomass heating systems with Salford-based landlord ForHousing.
The one year contract with ForHousing, which owns and manages more than 24,000 homes across the North West, is valued at £450,000. The contract was secured through a mini competition on the Fusion21 Heating & Renewables 2020-24 Framework.
The contract covers a portfolio of nearly 2,000 properties and includes the possibility of a one-year extension.
Liberty has also recently been awarded a prominent position on the Procurement for Housing (PfH) Heating Solutions Framework as well as Procurement Assists’ Heating and Gas Servicing Framework.
Ray Jones, group managing director at Liberty, said: “Retaining the heating systems contract with ForHousing is a testament to our combined commitment to ensuring effective, quality, and deliverable services that have customer service at their core.
“It’s also great news to have secured places on the Procurement for Housing Framework and the Procurement Assist framework. These Frameworks cover many parts of the UK, allowing us to extend our reach to a broader customer base.”
Nigel Sedman, executive director of homes at ForHousing, said: “We are committed to providing well maintained, sustainable homes for our tenants and their safety is our number one priority.
“Everything we do aims to positively impact the lives of our social housing tenants. From listening to tenant feedback and learning from it, we continually work to improve our services.
“Working collaboratively with Liberty means we can deliver on being 100% gas compliant and ensure we deliver excellent performance in maintaining the heating of our tenants’ homes.”
Keith Armstrong, chief executive of Procurement Assist, said: “Having undergone a full PCR procurement process, we are looking forward to a long term relationship with Liberty.”
