Edinburgh-based social landlord, Prospect Community Housing, has extended its ongoing relationship with Saltire Facilities Management, with new contracts agreed ahead to coincide with the end of a current 5-year contract.

Saltire, one of Scotland’s largest gas and electrical contracting businesses, specialises in providing home heating and power maintenance and repair services to the social housing sector across the Central Belt, and the rest of Scotland.

The first of the two contracts, a gas servicing, repair, and maintenance contract, will see the experienced Saltire team continue to deliver work across the 900 tenant homes belonging to Prospect Community Housing over a minimum 3-year term, with the option to extend for two 12-month periods. Saltire have successfully retained this work, as they approach the end of an initial 5-year period delivering this work.

Speaking of the contract awards, Saltire Managing Director Alan Murray commented; "Our team work hard to build strong relationships with our clients and their tenants. We have a great relationship with the Prospect team who have always shared their praise for our teams. To retain contracts like this is great and we look forward to continuing working with Prospect over the coming years."

Projects Officer at Prospect Community Housing, Graham Dow added; "The gas servicing, repair, and maintenance contract is Prospect Community Housing’s most important contract, and we are looking forward to a continuation of the excellent service we have received over the past 4 years from Saltire. Tenants can expect familiar faces servicing their boilers over the next 3 years and staff are delighted to continue their great relationship with both the gas engineers and office staff at Saltire."
