Ongo awards materials contract to Jewson, as part of repair service improvements

Ongo has awarded its materials supply contract to Jewson Partnership Solutions (JPS), following a competitive tender process, designed to enhance the quality and efficiency of its repairs service.   The partnership marks a key milestone in Ongo’s commitment to delivering a reliable, responsive service to tenants across the regions it serves.   JPS, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of building materials, will now provide the products needed to support Ongo’s day-to-day repairs and long-term investment programmes.   To deliver the partnership, JPS has opened a new base at Eastgate Park in Scunthorpe, placing them closer to Ongo’s operations and enabling faster, more streamlined delivery of materials.   This collaboration supports Ongo’s wider goal of building a strong, efficient repairs service that delivers high-quality outcomes for tenants. By improving access to materials and reducing delays, Ongo can respond more quickly to repair requests and ensure work is completed to a consistently high standard.   Jordan Barr, Head of Maintenance and Building Safety at Ongo, said: “We’re really pleased to see Jewson secure a new base in Scunthorpe to support our exciting new partnership.   “This move will help streamline the supply of materials for our repairs and investment programmes, making sure we can deliver high quality, efficient services to our tenants and customers.   “It’s another great example of how strong local partnerships can bring real benefits to our communities.”   The new facility will play a vital role in supporting Ongo’s operatives, ensuring they have the tools and resources needed to carry out repairs quickly and effectively. The partnership is expected to bring long-term benefits to tenants, helping to create homes and neighbourhoods they can be proud of.   Ryan Kellingray, Operations Director at Jewson Partnership Solutions commented: “We are very excited to be entering into partnership with Ongo Homes. By combining our expertise on solutions and products with Ongo's commitment to delivering efficient services to their residents, we will ensure their operatives have the tools and resources they need to make a real difference.   “Together we'll help create and maintain a neighbourhood people can be proud of.”   To find out more about Jewson, visit www.jewson.co.uk.
