Contract Services, an installation and maintenance firm based in Belfast, has scooped a £30 million contract.

Up to 50 new jobs are expected to be created and it is the biggest 'all trades' measured term contract of its kind in Northern Ireland.

Contract Services will deliver a full range of maintenance services across two regions, covering approximately 6,000 properties initially in the North East and South East of the province including Belfast.

This number is expected to increase to 10,000 homes.

Contract Services is creating 36 new jobs initially, which is expected to rise to up to 50, and investing in a fleet of 50 new vehicles.

Contract Services founder and managing director Rory McNaughton said: "This is a hugely important contract and a very exciting time for Contract Services. From our humble beginnings in 2005 with a single engineer on the road, we have developed and grown year on year to get to the point where we can win and deliver a huge contract like this by providing a team of dedicated and skilled in-house tradesmen to provide all the required services.

"We offer customers the opportunity to make one phone call and all their needs will be taken care of - underpinned by the highest standards of delivery and value for money. No other company supplying installation and maintenance services has the in-house capability that we have and I believe that being a 'one-stop shop' for housing associations was a key factor in securing us this prestigious contract."
