Burnham-On-Sea
building company celebrates contract win
A
Burnham-On-Sea building company is celebrating after being named
on a list of seven local companies to benefit from a multi-million
pound building and maintenance scheme run by Somerset County Council.
 Boley
& Skuse was named on Tuesday (June 27th) as one of the preferred
suppliers for work involved in a new repair and maintenance system
being launched across the county.
The
new system will use area-based contracts so that local and regional
businesses are used across Somerset.
The
contracts are for building, mechanical and electrical maintenance
that will be delivered by a total of seven contractors, which
will account for a significant proportion of the council’s
total maintenance spend of £5million per year.
The
Property Services Department at Somerset County Council manages
638 properties across the county from schools, libraries and fire
stations to museums and a range of adult and child care centres.
Sam
Crabb, Somerset County Council's Portfolio Holder for Resources,
said: "These new arrangements are the result of a fundamental
review of the way that the council looks after its buildings.
We have listened to our building users and designed a system that
addressees their key concerns as well as achieving significant
cost savings for Somerset County Council and council tax payers."
