£7million framework contract
May 2017

CMS WINDOW SYSTEMS has been appointed by North Lanarkshire Council for its window and door replacement framework with a contract, worth at least £7m, to replace windows and doors in domestic properties across the region for three years until the end of March 2020.

The win comes soon after the company secured a £5m contract with East Dunbartonshire Council.

In the lead up to 2020, the year by which the properties of all social landlords in Scotland are required to meet the energy Efficiency Standard in Social Housing (EESSH,) CMS will manufacture and install energy efficient windows and doors across North Lanarkshire Council’s housing stock. This will improve the energy efficiency of these homes and contribute towards the achievement of EESSH for the local authority. The resulting improvements will not only be aesthetically pleasing but more importantly will help to reduce energy consumption aiding the fight against fuel poverty. The emission of greenhouse gases is also reduced which is in line with the requirements set out in the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009.

Craig Reid, Contracts Director at CMS Window Systems said: “We’re very pleased that North Lanarkshire Council, like East Dunbartonshire Council, has appointed us to deliver its framework agreement for the replacement of windows and doors.

“CMS is built on a sustainability ethos, which extends into every aspect of the business including a commitment to apprenticeships and youth employment and as a major employer based in the Central Belt, it is extremely pleasing to know that the North Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire contracts will provide job security for our employees as well as help reduce the potential of succumbing to fuel poverty for many vulnerable residents in Central Scotland.”
