THE JR Group has announced it has landed a place on Home Group Scotland’s Development Contractors Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) Scotland framework, securing work over the next four years.
The business has been named an approved contractor on the framework for both Lot 1 (projects up to 40 units) and Lot 2 (projects over 40 units).
As part of the framework, contractors will undertake projects comprising demolition, new build, and/or regeneration. The scope of work is expected to vary and may include elements of conversion and refurbishment. Work is set to be located across Scotland’s central belt with key areas of development activity including Dundee, West Lothian, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.
Andrew Dallas, projects director for The JR Group, said, “Meeting the requirements for these frameworks is an incredibly stringent and vigorous process, so the success for us on both Lots 1 and 2 is testament to the high quality, innovation and professionalism we were able to demonstrate to Home Group Scotland. We know and understand the needs of the Scottish affordable housing sector, so it is a fantastic achievement for us to put this expertise to good use for Home Group Scotland over the next four years.”
Home Group Scotland is no stranger to the work of The JR Group, with work well underway on a project in Edinburgh on the site of the former Royal Sick Kids Hospital. The team is delivering 31 homes, 20 of which are for social rent while the other 11 will be mid-market rental homes.
Andrew added, “Projects such as the site at the former Royal Sick Kids Hospital in Edinburgh has helped us to really demonstrate the quality of our work to Home Group Scotland. The award will mean we can undertake larger projects, ensuring more of Scotland’s new and upgraded affordable homes are created to our exacting standards.”
Bryony Willett, director of Scotland at Home Group Scotland, added, “We are committed to providing the right homes in the right places and to achieve this we must work collaboratively with high quality contractors. We look forward to continuing our relationship with The JR Group beyond the current development on site in Edinburgh.”
