Later living provider Anchor is seeking contractors to deliver repairs and investment services across its property portfolio.

The not-for-profit provider is tendering for contractors for around 1,700 locations for delivering services for up to 15 years at an estimated value of £1.7 billion.

Brian Golton, director of property delivery at Anchor, said: “Helping people enjoy later life by providing high quality, safe homes with resident focused services is paramount. As a result, we are looking to secure long term partnerships with contractors who can demonstrate they can deliver consistently and effectively, to ensure we continue to provide homes where residents love living in later life. We have commenced the initial phase of procurement with an aim to award tenders in June 2024.”

John Westwood, executive director of property and assets at Anchor, said: “With an ageing population providing well maintained, quality homes is needed more than ever.

“Anchor is proudly not-for-profit, which means every penny we make is reinvested into our properties and services. Our ambitious repairs and investment service seeks to meet the needs of current and future residents, with responsive and planned works being carried out, that includes retrofitting to improve energy efficiency and create healthier homes.”
