Grainger has appointed Kier to deliver repairs and maintenance work across its UK private rented portfolio.
The £50m contract, which spans ten years, is due to start on 1 September.
Kier will carry out repairs to tenants’ properties and be responsible for gas and electrical compliance works across England and Scotland.
Grainger’s decision to appoint a single provider was taken in order to improve tenant service delivery and maximise efficiencies to obtain cost savings that were not being achieved through Grainger’s previous network of multiple suppliers and service providers.
Peter Couch, chief operating officer of Grainger, said: “This contract will help us ensure work is done to a high standard in a timely manner for our tenants, while delivering a significant cost reduction for Grainger.”
