Read Full ArticleThe Window Company (Contracts) has been awarded Moat Homes’ window and door replacement contract, in an agreement which will see commercial installer fitting-out properties up until at least the end of 2026.
The firm was first awarded the Moat Homes contract in 2010 via main contractor Keepmoat, so this new agreement extends the partnership to more than 15 years.
During that time, The Window Company (Contracts) (TWCC) has installed an estimated 15,000 PVC-U windows and 7,420 residential doors and fire doors in more than 5,000 Moat Homes’ properties throughout Essex, Kent, south London and Sussex. Tracked customer satisfaction levels are currently running at 98%.
Tender
The most recent contract award was via a competitive tender at the start of 2024. TWCC had to demonstrate not only that it had the operational capability, resources and high level of training to meet the demands of the programme but that it could consistently meet the highest standards on everything from resident and client communication to health and safety and waste management.
A particularly significant part of the tender was demonstrating tangible commitment to Moat Homes’ social value agenda and a willingness to support charitable programmes in the areas where Moat operates and provide job opportunities, training and work experience.
Charity
TWCC has worked hard in this area since the original appointment by Moat, working with the Moat Foundation to make donations for food bank and charity collections and providing support with products and labour for community build projects.
Rob Petre, MD of TTWCC says: “We’re never complacent about our contract or relationship with Moat. In order to retain a contract of this scale and this complexity, you have to be demonstrating continual improvement right across the board from RLO performance to responsiveness and accountability in project management and we have consistently done that.”
