The Residential Services division of Lampton Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of the London Borough of Hounslow, has awarded a £36 million contract to Travis Perkins Managed Services for the procurement of building maintenance materials and services.
The contract, which will run for up to six years, subject to agreement, was awarded after an extensive and robust procurement process.
Lampton Services provides residential services on behalf of the London Borough of Hounslow to over 16,000 homes across the borough. Its services include emergency and planned repairs, aids and adaptations, general maintenance, grounds maintenance, and refurbishments.
The contract will see Travis Perkins Managed Services responsible for the procurement of all materials and associated logistics for the maintenance of homes in the local area. Starting from April 2023, the contract will be run from the Ashmead Road depot and two other locations in the borough.
The partnership is intended to provide several benefits to Lampton Services including cost savings, improved stock holding and ordering systems and will lead to reduced wait times for materials, supporting residents by improving service efficiency.
A condition of Lampton Service’s rigorous tender process was a commitment by the contract awardee to contribute to the social value proposition of Hounslow. To this end, Travis Perkins Managed Services has “committed to improving the social, economic, and environmental well-being of the borough by partnering with local suppliers, developing local skills, and providing employment for local people.”
A legacy fund will also be created, representing £45,000 per annum, for Lampton Services to invest in social projects that will further benefit the community.
Sam Leigh, Managing Director of Lampton Services, said: “At Lampton Services our mission is to deliver exceptional services that make Hounslow a better place to live. Having followed a rigorous process, we are pleased to award our materials contract to Travis Perkins Managed Services.
“The company provided the most advantageous tender for Lampton and therefore the residents of Hounslow. As a national builders’ merchant, it has a proven track record in effective supply.”
Ben Todd, Managing Director for Travis Perkins Managed Services, added: “This is a significant contract award for Travis Perkins Managed Services and we are delighted to be working with Lampton Services in the delivery of materials for essential housing services. As a market leader in materials supply, we aim to deliver an efficient service to support the delivery of service excellence for the benefit of residents and Coalo colleagues.”
