Major Framework Awards 
 
 
Rok plc, the property repair and maintenance specialist, has announced its 
appointment by two organizations to carry out work under four-year framework 
agreements together expected to generate around GBP86m in revenue for the 
company. This brings the total value of framework agreements won so far this 
year to GBP343m compared with the GBP240m worth won during the first four months 
of 2008. 
 
 
Under an arrangement with Moat Housing Association worth GBP66m, Rok will build 
a proportion of the new homes it requires in London and the South East of 
England. For more than 40 years Moat has provided high quality homes for 
affordable rent across the region building around 700 new properties a year. 
 
 
A consortium of 11 social housing providers in the North East of England known 
as NE Procurement, whose members together own 100,000 properties, has appointed 
Rok to provide property repairs and maintenance services for the next four years 
in a framework worth GBP20m. The work will include installing new bathrooms, 
heating, windows and doors. 
 
 
Commenting on the contract wins, Rok's chief executive, Garvis Snook, said: 
 
 
"Winning further new framework agreements is a welcome indication for the year 
ahead. We are particularly encouraged to be awarded a framework from a group of 
social housing providers which clearly indicates their commitment to maintaining 
their properties to a high standard after their Decent Homes improvements 
programmes have come to an end. 
 
 
"The NE Procurement appointment adds to our successful position on similar 
consortia arrangements across the North of England, such as Fusion 21, GM 
Procure, Northern Housing Federation and Cumbria Housing Partners, illustrating 
the value that our local businesses and direct delivery workforce can add."
