Nottingham and County Durham-based Hodgson Sayers has been reselected for a further four years as lead contractor on the extensive Efficiency East Midlands (EEM) framework, where it has already won work in excess of £3 million.
Works to be undertaken within the framework are for roofing replacement and repairs and will continue to be led by contracts manager, Linden Blackwood, from the company’s base in Nottingham.
Hodgson Sayers, a building maintenance, security products and roofing specialist, was on the previous framework which ran from 2020 to 2024.
Established in 2010, EEM is a not-for-profit procurement consortium that offers cost and efficiency savings for the public sector across England and Wales. It supports 365 organisations ranging from contracting authorities, education providers, police forces, NHS Trusts and charities.
Hodgson Sayers, which employs around 100 staff, has completed contracts for a number of organisations since it was first placed on the framework in 2020, including Newark and Sherwood District Council, Derby Homes, East Midlands Homes and Nottingham City Homes.
John Sayers, managing director, Hodgson Sayers, said: “Winning new contracts is essential and exciting but renewing an existing contract, or, in this case, retaining our lead position on such an important framework, is testament to a high consistency of quality of workmanship and customer service and to the values of the operational teams, led by contracts manager, Linden Blackwood.
“Once more, we have the opportunity to deliver work to the potential value of several millions of pounds over the lifespan of the framework and, as lead contractor, we do not have to compete against other companies also on the framework to be awarded work. Instead, we can focus on delivering the same quality projects that won us the renewal of our place on the framework.
“I would like to extend my thanks to Efficiency East Midlands and also to the entire team at Hodgson Sayers for ensuring that we provide all of our clients with best-in-class service.”
Linden Blackwood said: “Hodgson Sayers is a customer-centric business and to have, once again, been placed first across all criteria, is the biggest indicator we are performing to the standard we hold ourselves to.
“When I joined the Nottingham office two and a half years ago, Hodgson Sayers was just starting to make itself known in the Midlands. It speaks volumes that we have gone from being a relatively unknown company in the East Midlands, to being a first-choice provider. I am extremely proud to lead the team operating in this region.
“It has only been possible to attain the level of geographical growth that the business has achieved in such a short time period, with renewed business, because of the dedication our people display day in, day out.
“Indeed, one of the biggest challenges any business faces when experiencing exponential growth is ensuring that the quality of service does not drop. The renewal of our position as lead contractor on such a highly competitive framework, highlights the ability of the business to scale up whilst continuing to deliver an impeccable service.”
