Wessex wins major contract

Wessex HVAC & Plumbing, contractor

Wessex HVAC & Plumbing has won a large mechanical maintenance contract with Dorset County Council for the East Dorset area. Winning the contract follows a long process to establish Wessex on the correct framework agreements set up by the council and then tendering for the work against stiff competition.

The 4-year contract is renewable year on year, subject to service-level agreements being met. The works include maintaining and repairing boilers and water hygiene for 73 public buildings — including schools, libraries and nursing homes.

Gordon Green, a director with Wessex, comments, ‘Winning such an important contract with Dorset County Council helps to reaffirm our position as a contractor that can be trusted to deliver high-quality good-value services to both the private and public sectors.’
