\nBrent enhances community spaces with two refurb contracts handed to Ash Special Works Ltd – \u00a3423k for Freeman Family Centre and \u00a3746k for Kilburn Library. These upgrades bring modern, accessible environments to local residents and reinforce Brent\u2019s commitment to investing in welcoming, inclusive public spaces.<\/p>\n
\nCroydon levels up community security with a \u00a31m+ five-year CCTV contract awarded borough-wide, featuring a break clause after year three. The council also extends its \u00a3762k housing repairs contract with Home and Dry Maintenance Ltd and secures a second \u00a31m+ deal for a Stock Condition Survey – strengthening housing oversight and public safety across the board.<\/p>\n
\nFenland plans for greener futures by reviewing its Grounds Maintenance deal with Tivoli. The council will either extend the contract by one year or launch a new 5+5-year term post – October 2025. This strategic decision ensures the district\u2019s landscapes stay well-maintained and sustainable for years to come.<\/p>\n
\nLambeth commits \u00a3136k to install a Sustainable Drainage System at Myatt\u2019s Field Estate by April 2025. With a contract variation for Meristem Design approved, the upgrade tackles flood risks and supports greener infrastructure – cementing Lambeth\u2019s pledge to climate resilience and better public spaces.<\/p>\n
\nLancashire pushes forward with a wave of upgrades – boilers at Accrington and Morecambe, solar panels at Moorside Primary, refurbishments at Larches and Clayton le Woods, and more. These projects, backed by key contracts under the Construction Partnering Framework, boost energy efficiency, modernise school infrastructure, and reflect the council\u2019s strong commitment to sustainable, well-maintained public services.<\/p>\n
\nNottingham locks in a \u00a3640k, four-year contract for servicing 57 passenger lifts across council housing. Backed by the Housing Revenue Account, the move ensures safer, more reliable access for residents – part of the council\u2019s broader push for inclusive and well-managed homes.<\/p>\n
\nRunnymede secures safety with long-term remedial works at Surrey Towers – avoiding rehousing 90 families. The council also signed a \u00a312,000 deal with Severn Wye Energy Agency to develop Cheltenham Zero-aligned decarbonisation plans. A strategic waiver backs SWEA\u2019s unique expertise, keeping the borough focused on greener, safer communities.<\/p>\n
\nStirling gears up for digital innovation with a \u00a31.6m refurbishment of the Forthside MoD site into a Digital Hub. Managed by Turner & Townsend and funded via the City Region Deal, this project marks a bold step in future-proofing the city\u2019s infrastructure. Contractor procurement is now in motion, kick-starting Stirling\u2019s tech-driven regeneration.<\/p>\n
\nThanet boosts its surveillance strategy with a new CCTV contract awarded to BT under CCS Framework RM6116. Covering maintenance for over 500 cameras and future installations, the deal supports district-wide safety improvements while laying groundwork for scalable, tech-driven public security solutions.<\/p>\n
\nWaverley invests in housing upkeep with a \u00a339k refurbishment contract awarded to Abacus Property Solutions in Farnham. Alongside this, a \u00a312.6k consultancy deal kicks off a service review of housing repairs and voids – strengthening delivery models and improving service planning for tenants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
