New £14m Contracts Secured with Bromsgrove District Housing Trust

Two major contracts totalling £14 million have been secured from Bromsgrove District Housing Trust (bdht), to enhance and decarbonise social housing across the Midlands.

bdht is a registered provider of affordable homes, managing around 4,000 properties across Bromsgrove and the surrounding areas.

£14m Contracts Secured

The first contract will see United Infrastructure deliver circa £10 million of large-scale retrofit and decarbonisation measures across bdht’s housing portfolio.

The initiative aims to improve the energy efficiency of more than 500 homes in its initial phase, with the potential to scale to 1,000 properties over the duration of the programme. Scheduled to begin straightaway and delivered over two years, with potential for extension, the project will ensure that all bdht homes meet an EPC rating of C or above by 2030.

The retrofit measures will reduce carbon emissions, improve the thermal performance of homes, and make them more affordable to heat. The works will also address longstanding issues such as damp and mould, significantly enhancing resident wellbeing.

Refurbishment Works

United Infrastructure has also been awarded a £4 million contract to deliver a comprehensive programme of planned refurbishment works. The project, procured through the Procurement for Housing (PfH) Framework, will commence in November 2025 and is scheduled to complete in March 2026.

The works will involve the renewal of roofing elements the replacement of kitchens and bathrooms, installation of new boilers and heating systems, and upgrades to windows and doors.

Both contracts emphasise social value creating employment and training opportunities.

Steve Phillips, Head of Asset Management, bdht, said: “These new contracts with United Infrastructure will make a real difference to bdht customers and their communities. The £14 million investment will make hundreds of homes warmer, more energy-efficient and more affordable to run. Alongside this, essential upgrades to kitchens, bathrooms, heating systems, roofs, windows, and doors will help ensure our homes remain safe, modern and well-maintained for many years to come.”
