Woking Borough Council appoints Mountjoy as its new housing maintenance contractor

Property services firm, Mountjoy, has been awarded a contract with Woking Borough Council to provide responsive maintenance, void property works, domestic and communal gas boiler servicing to its housing stock.

The three-year contract, which commences on the 1 April 2022 is worth approximately £1.9 million a year and comes with an option to extend for up to seven years.

Woking Borough Council owns and manages approximately 3,750 properties across the borough including 10 sheltered housing blocks. The new deal with Mountjoy is a key part of a wider transformation plan which will see Woking Borough Council bringing housing management services back in house and establishing a new supply chain to deliver maintenance services.

As part of the mobilisation Mountjoy will be investing in a new office and helpdesk in Woking. It will also be establishing a dedicated team of trade staff and establishing relationships with local suppliers and subcontractors to help deliver the contract.

Cllr Debbie Harlow, Woking Borough Council’s Portfolio Holder for Housing, added: “Following a rigorous procurement process we are pleased to announce Mountjoy as our new housing maintenance contractor. This new partnership with Mountjoy offers an enhanced service to residents and creates a closer working relationship. This is really positive news for residents who will benefit from a more responsive and effective housing management service.”
