LEADING national consulting engineers Morgan Tucker are celebrating a double win after being appointed to two multi-million pound M&E frameworks for two different housing associations.
The firm, which has an office in Newton Aycliffe and manages around £1.2bn worth of construction schemes annually, was successful in the competitive tender processes for both Swan Housing’s and L&Q Housing’s latest frameworks.
The L&Q Housing Association work, which is also set to span four years, will see Morgan Tucker be able to bid for M&E work in the organisation’s plans to complete a total of 5,200 new homes at a cost of £960m.
Director at Morgan Tucker Neil Horton said the two recent framework wins were outstanding achievements for the firm and had further set it apart from the competition. He said: “We are delighted to have been appointed to both the Swan Housing and the L&Q Housing Association frameworks, having completed highly competitive and extremely robust tender processes for each.
“Over the next four years we will be able to bid for works worth millions of pounds on the two frameworks, which will further solidify the growth and rapid expansion which Morgan Tucker has achieved over recent years – and will position us as leading providers of engineering in the housing sector in London and the South East.
“Our latest appointments showcase that we have the skills and expertise to provide first class, reliable, innovative and imaginative services to housing associations and other public sector organisations.”
Neil added: “Frameworks such as these are great examples of how working in partnership provides the very best results for the customer. We are proud to be part of these frameworks and look forward to working with our partners to create much-needed high quality, affordable homes.”
Swan develops affordable, rented projects, low cost home ownership projects, intermediate rent and key worker accommodation and properties for sale. It operates predominantly in London and the South East.
It is expected that in excess of 500 homes per year will be developed over the next two years in and around London and Essex under Swan’s new framework, including large regeneration schemes at Swan’s developments at Blackwall Reach, Poplar and Craylands in Basildon.
The recent framework successes also follow on from BES’s appointment to the Network Housing Group M&E framework in London last year, which means Morgan Tucker is now part of three major London Housing frameworks for M&E services.
