Cardo, a provider of building maintenance services to social housing providers and public bodies, has secured a planned maintenance contract with social landlord Caredig.
The contract, which will run for an initial two years, with an option to extend for a further two years, is valued at £8 million and will see Cardo delivering high-quality maintenance, scheduled upgrades, major works in empty homes, routine repairs, and out-of-hours emergencies across over 2,800 homes in Swansea, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, and Neath and Port Talbot.
As part of this contract, Cardo will also carry out a community benefits programme, delivering local jobs, apprenticeships, training and pre-employment support, and investment in Welsh SMEs. Additionally, they will provide funding and volunteering for vulnerable residents, and promote biodiversity through community and school projects.
Rhydian James, Managing Director at Cardo (Wales and West), said: “We are proud to be partnering with Caredig to deliver a high-quality maintenance service that makes a real difference for residents. This contract reflects our commitment not only to maintaining homes to the highest standards but also to supporting the wider Caredig community through meaningful employment, apprenticeships, and local projects.”
Stuart Thomas, Head of Assets & Compliance at Caredig, commented: “We are delighted to appoint Cardo as our trusted partner for these vital works. Their expertise and collaborative approach will help us maintain safe, comfortable homes and deliver excellent service to our tenants.”
