A consortium made up of the Carroll Group and Sovini Property Services has successfully secured a contract worth over £317 million.

The consortium will deliver integrated asset management for Merseyside-based One Vision Housing and Pine Court Housing Association over a 10 year period.

Carroll Group, which incorporates Carroll Build, Carroll Waste and Amianto Services, will deliver various elements of the contract including new build, refurbishment and waste management.

Sovini Property Services will continue to provide repairs and maintenance services to the housing providers, which they have undertaken since their inception in 2010.

Carroll Group and Sovini Property Services won the contract through OJEU (Official Journal of the European Union), a European procurement database designed to ensure fairness and transparency in tender processes.

The consortium’s track record in delivering excellent services, consistently achieving high levels of customer satisfaction and a commitment to social value, were among the key factors in securing the contract.

Terry Carroll, Managing Director of Carroll Group, said: “This is our largest contract award to date and will enable us to invest in our staff, including providing further opportunities for apprentices. We are delighted to have the opportunity to lead on One Vision Housing’s extensive development programme over the coming years, creating much needed high quality affordable homes across the region. Our quality waste management and asbestos management offer will also deliver increased value for money.“

Arturo Gulla, Group Director of Asset Management at One Vision Housing and Pine Court Housing Association, said:* “Sovini Property Services has been delivering an excellent service for us for a number of years. They are always looking to improve services for our customers and consistently achieve high satisfaction as a result. The involvement of Carroll Group will further enhance the services we provide to customers, offering more value for money. The consortium’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, offering local employment opportunities and apprenticeships, will result in long-term benefits to the communities we serve.”*

Steven Parker, Director of Sovini Property Services, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to continue our excellent relationship with One Vision Housing and Pine Court Housing Association. Working with our intra-Group suppliers Sovini Trade Supplies we have developed collaborative IT systems to help improve efficiency and transparency for our clients. The excellent standard of service we deliver is consistently borne out by top performance customer satisfaction figures. We look forward to continuing to deliver an excellent service to One Vision Housing and their customers.“
