Equans has secured a three-year contract extension with Manchester City Council, which will see vital maintenance continue to be delivered to homes across the region.
Equans has provided ongoing maintenance and repairs to 12,000 homes and carried out refurbishment and adaptations on behalf of Manchester City Council Housing since 2021, with the partnership now running to 2027.
Under the terms of the deal, Equans will continue to deliver approximately 55,000 repairs to council owned housing stock and undertake 11,000 gas service inspections every year, as well as refurbishment and adaptations.
The partnership also delivers a strong social value focus, committing to employ 15 apprentices and donating 1,000 hours of volunteering activities to local communities based in and around Manchester every year.
Richard Carmichael, MD for Equans Local Authority Services, said: “This contract extension is testament to the strength of our collaborative relationship with Manchester City Council and we look forward to continuing the relationship over the next three years, working hard to provide an effective, customer focused service for the people of Manchester.
“We are committed to having a positive impact on the communities we work in and we will be proud to continue to contribute to making the area a great place to live, work and visit.”
