The initial 2-year contract will be based in the Midlands and is made up of 410 properties of which 160 will be funded by SHDF wave 2.1 funding. (Funding secured = £2.1M). The contract will also be made available to future program requirements across Orbit’s regional coverage.
Although the initial intention is to deliver the works in Orbit’s Wave SHDF 2.1 bid, there will be further works which may be funded by ECO 4 or fully funded by Orbit.
