Mansell to compete for social housing construction jobs

11/07/2011 16:00:00

A social housing provider has given Mansell the opportunity to deliver new homes in east London and Essex, which could bolster construction recruitment in these areas.

The developer has managed to secure a place on both price bands of East Thames Group's four-year new build contractors framework, meaning it will be able to bid for construction work on projects both worth less than and more than £5 million.

Active panel members will be able to participate in mini-competitions for construction jobs as they arise, with there already being a known pipeline of nine available developments worth £138 million in total.

Marcus Keys, Mansell's affordable housing director, commented: "We are delighted to have been chosen by East Thames Group to create much needed high quality homes in and around London."

Last week, Mansell was also appointed by social housing organisation Orbit Heart of England to build a £13 million extra care scheme in Bedford, which could create further jobs in construction in the south-east.
