Baggaley Maintain, the responsive repairs and maintenance division of Herbert Baggaley Construction, have been awarded two new contracts.

The first contract they have been selected for is the Sanctuary Housing Responsive Maintenance framework, giving them the chance to share in a total of £4,000,000 worth of contracts over the next 4 years. They were one of eight contractors chosen for the regional framework covering South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.  Sanctuary has responsibility for approximately 3,700 houses situated within this area.

Baggaley Maintain's services will primarily be used to support Sanctuary's existing directly employed labour. It will see the division carrying out responsive repairs and void property refurbishments along with providing out of hours emergency cover through their 24 hour helpdesk. 

The second contract, worth approximately £75,000, is with Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service, providing adaptations for disabled access at 24 fire stations throughout Derbyshire. The 12 week contract commences in September and will include the creation of parking for blue badge holders, the installation of handrails and access ramps, increasing the width of door openings and the laying of tactile paving.

As the works are mostly to the exterior of the buildings, unrestricted access and exit for emergency vehicles will need to be maintained at all times. Additionally, alternative pedestrian access routes will need to be created. 

Ian Baggaley, Managing Director at Baggaley said: "We are thrilled to have been chosen for the regional framework with Sanctuary which will provide a welcome source of regular work over the next four years. We are also really pleased to have won the contract with Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, which will build on the relationship we currently have with them. These two new wins will contribute to the continued growth of our Maintain division."
