Major Framework Awards 
 
 
 
 
Rok plc, the property repair and maintenance specialist, is pleased to announce 
that since the start of the year it has won eight major framework 
agreements, totalling around GBP164m in revenue. 
 
 
The Guinness Trust, one of the largest housing associations in England, has 
signed a national framework agreement with Rok to build new homes under a 
variety of schemes over the next four years.  Rok already has a good working 
relationship with the Trust, supplying a range of services from gas boiler 
 maintenance to emergency property repairs. 
 
 
Among the other framework agreements is a contract with the Maritime and 
Coastguard Agency for repair and maintenance work on 150 properties in the UK, 
and one with Leisure Connection which has contracted Rok to carry out planned 
maintenance, alterations and emergency repairs in the fitness clubs, leisure 
centres, swimming pools, theatres and arts centres it manages. 
 
 
The remaining five agreements are with regional and local housing associations 
and city councils covering the building of new homes for rent, repairing 
occupied properties and preparing empty homes for new tenants. For two of these 
the work involves alterations to properties to comply with the requirements of 
the Disability Discrimination Act. 
 
 
Commenting on the contract wins, Rok's chief executive, Garvis Snook, said: 
 
 
"To be winning this number of new framework agreements so early on in the year 
is encouraging.  I believe it shows that using our own people to deliver local 
services on a national scale is a compelling proposition for many customers and 
stands us in good stead for the months ahead."
