38 contractors have been appointed to a £380 million framework for planned maintenance works for Scottish councils and housing associations over four years.
PfH Scotland has appointed 22 regional firms and 16 larger national companies. The framework is structured across 12 lots and tailored to different regions. Social landlords have the option to procure products only or a one-stop route for supply of products and installation.
The Scottish Housing Regulator says that in 2023/24, registered social landlords in Scotland spent £945m on management and maintenance – the highest on record.
Larger firms appointed to the planned works framework include Bell Group, CCG Scotland, Easy Heat Systems, McConnell, Procast, Sidey Solutions and Wren Kitchens.

Chris McGinn, the commercial manager at PfH Scotland, says: “The challenges of high inflation and rising prices, combined with competing priorities, have placed immense pressure on already strained housing upkeep budgets.
“We designed this framework with social landlords so it could offer flexible, low-cost, high-quality options for planned works, enabling a quick and precise match between their requirements and suppliers.”
