Provision of social housing - Erimus Housing

ERIMUS HOUSING

Erimus Housing has been created to undertake the
provision of social housing from Middlesbrough
Council.
On or around the 1st October 2004, almost all of
the Council housing, in the ownership of
Middlesbrough Council will transfer to Erimus
Housing.
The transfer includes requirements to modernise
and improve properties with a total programme
value in excess of £100m, scheduled for the first
5 years of operation.
The refurbishment works will include a wide range
of tasks including, but not limited to, the
installation of upvc windows and doors,
re-wiring, central heating
installation/replacement, replacement kitchens,
replacement bathrooms, and other building,

construction, and environmental works.
The overall contract will be split into two parts
- Supplies and Works. Erimus is seeking
expressions of interest from potential partner
agencieswho may wish to be considered.

Supplies (Ref:2004/3.1)
The supplies element of the contract will involve
partnering the complete supply chain element from
manufacture to on-site delivery. Erimus are
looking for a supply chain partner who can
provide a wide range of goods and materials
including Central Heating Boilers, Electrical

undertake approximately 25% of the work content.
All other works will be procured externally.  The
