Lovell has been appointed to carry out Whole House Framework, worth up to £100 million over a four-year period.

Through the framework – which adopts a whole house approach to planned maintenance – Lovell will be eligible to bid to carry out housing repair programmes for public sector organisations across the UK, including local authorities and housing associations.

Drawing on a strong record of achievement in planned maintenance and housing regeneration work, Lovell has been appointed to nine out of the national framework’s eleven lots.

The maintenance work covered includes the installation of new kitchens, bathrooms, windows and doors, roofing work, heating, and internal and external repairs.

Gary Stanfield, framework manager at Fusion21, says: “It’s fantastic that Lovell has been appointed to nine lots on this popular framework – joining other contractors who have successfully passed rigorous cost and quality assessments as part of the tender process.

“The framework now offers customers the opportunity to call off multiple lots, and will generate greater efficiency savings for public sector organisations across the country.”

The appointment is the latest in a number of high-profile housing maintenance successes for Lovell this year, including its appointment by Chevin Housing Association, a member of the Together Housing Group, to carry out £20 million of improvement work for homes across Yorkshire over the next two years.
