ALMO's £200m Repairs Contracts

North London social landlord Barnet Homes has awarded contracts worth more than £200 million to seven firms to maintain its council homes, blocks and estates over a 10-year period. The ALMO, which manages 15,000 homes on behalf of Barnet Council, advertised lots covering a wide range of repairs and specialist maintenance jobs, such as asbestos removal and lift maintenance. Companies were invited to tender to provide these services from April 2012. Tenders were weighted at 60 per cent quality and 40 per cent price. Read more on the Barnet Homes website.
