Further Framework Awards worth GBP90m 
 
 
Rok plc, the property repair and maintenance specialist, today announced that it 
has won eight  significant  new awards under framework agreements which are 
together expected to generate revenue in the region of GBP90m over the next four 
years. 
 
 
These latest awards bring the total anticipated value of the 22 frameworks won 
so far this year to GBP440m,  compared with GBP290m worth this time last year. 
 
 
Based on Rok's ability to provide a nationally managed but locally delivered 
maintenance service 24 hours a day and seven days a week, the Group has been 
chosen by Wincanton, the UK's second largest logistics company, to provide 
planned maintenance, repair and building alteration services for its warehouses 
and offices. 
 
A similar arrangement has been agreed with Craegmoor Healthcare, the leading 
provider of specialist care and support to people with learning disabilities, 
mental health illnesses and older people, for the care homes, colleges and 
hospitals they run in Central England and the South East. 
 
 
In addition, Bracknell Forest Council has become the latest local authority to 
take advantage of Rok's planned and response maintenance services for its 
schools and public buildings. 
 
 
Already a leading provider of building improvement and repairs services to the 
social housing sector, Rok has been asked to replace kitchens, bathrooms and 
heating systems in Bath for Somer Housing Group. In Lancashire, where Rok has 
been working on a similar replacement scheme for Wigan and Leigh Housing, it has 
now been asked to carry out planned maintenance on the exteriors of its rented 
properties. 
 
 
The other three framework wins are for local authorities and their management 
organisations where Rok has existing maintenance services contracts and has now 
been asked to build new homes to increase the stock. These are for Your Homes 
Newcastle, City West Homes in Westminster and Wigan and Leigh Housing. 
 
Commenting on the successful bids, Rok's chief executive, Garvis Snook, said: 
 
 
"These eight new framework arrangements illustrate the geographical spread we 
have through our extensive network of branches and the range of sectors in which 
we operate. 
 
 
"It is also pleasing to see the diversification of our provision to existing 
social housing customers through a combination of good service and excellent 
relationships. The fact that we employ so many of our own people to deliver 
these services which are available round the clock if required, continues to 
prove popular with the market."
