\nLinthouse is levelling up its reactive repair services with Bell Group and MP Group newly appointed to the task. To keep things running smoothly, a temporary Grade 7 Officer will join the ranks while plans for the vacant Grade 5 post remain under review. A site visit to Davislea is also in the pipeline, keeping quality firmly on the agenda.<\/p>\n
\nBasildon\u2019s public spaces are getting a glow-up. A \u00a344,975 contract has been awarded to H&B Groundwork Contractors Ltd to handle town centre lighting removal and partial installation. W&H Romac will finish the job, all under the council\u2019s Regeneration Capital Programme.<\/p>\n
\nBrent is turning up the heat on essential school upgrades with approved plans to replace the heating system at Brentfield Primary School. Procured through a public framework, the project balances cost-efficiency with regulatory compliance ensuring classrooms stay warm, safe, and ready for learning. It\u2019s a smart investment in student wellbeing and long-term school infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\nBromley\u2019s West Wickham site is moving into Phase 2, with a \u00a3580k contract variation greenlit for Etec Contract Services Ltd. The enabling works include strip-outs, asbestos removal, and core surveys clearing the path for upcoming redevelopment.<\/p>\n
\nCamden isn\u2019t waiting around on safety, \u00a32.5m has been earmarked for urgent EICR remedial works across 2,000 homes. PFL Electrical Ltd is on board to deliver the 14-month programme, making sure homes meet BS7671 standards and fire safety is tight ahead of a contractor switch in 2026.<\/p>\n
\nElectrical safety is front and centre in Central Bedfordshire. The council extended its contract with DHE Group until December 2025, bumping the value to \u00a31m. New procurement plans are already underway to keep the momentum going and housing stock fully compliant.<\/p>\n
\nColchester is doubling down on tenant comfort and sustainability. N P G Barron Building Services will deliver a four-year programme upgrading bathrooms and wetrooms, while Re-Gen (UK) Construction Ltd kicks off a three-year plan to refurbish and boost the energy performance of new council acquisitions. The goal? Better homes, better lives and EPC C targets in sight.<\/p>\n
\nCroydon is making serious moves in housing and maintenance, extending key contracts for emergency repairs (\u00a3762.9k), planned upgrades (\u00a319.5m), and windows (\u00a36.25m). A \u00a325m fire safety programme and new five-year risk assessment contract boost resident protection, while a \u00a38.5m grounds maintenance tender launches in 2025. It\u2019s a full-spectrum push for safer, greener homes.<\/p>\n
\nDundee is laying strong foundations for the future with a \u00a3500k housing wall improvement strategy, a \u00a33.4m scaffolding framework for emergency and planned works, and new tenders rolling in under its 2025-2030 Capital Programme. With a focus on quality and local contractors, the city is investing wisely to deliver long-term housing and environmental resilience.<\/p>\n
\nHaringey is keeping kids cosy this season. When heating failed at Highgate Primary School, the council moved fast waiving procurement rules to award Getfix Ltd a \u00a3115k contract for a temporary generator and heating system. A \u00a3100k letter of intent got things moving ASAP.<\/p>\n
\nInnovation alert. Mole Valley is rolling out a solar-powered carport pilot at Leatherhead Leisure Centre. Backed by a \u00a3175k capital budget, the 2024\/25 project is a major nod to the council\u2019s sustainability ambitions and love for smart, visible green infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\nBig shifts are coming in Portsmouth. With repairs and gas servicing contracts set to expire by March 2026, the council is going all-in on outsourcing. Covering 17,000 homes, the move is designed to sharpen service delivery, improve value, and streamline the 50,000+ repairs and 13,500 gas checks carried out each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
