The contractor will carry out improvements to around 300 homes for Whitefriars Housing at Manor Farm.
The scheme is part of the Spirit Quarters area transformation, which has already seen over 500 new homes built and 1,000 existing homes improved.
Features include fitting external wall insulation and new windows, doors, flat roofs and boundary fencing, plus environmental works to enhance the surrounding area. The refurbished homes will be made more energy efficient, resulting in lower fuel bills.

Intensive resident consultation and planning is now taking place, with the 12-month programme of work set to start in January 2017.
Richard Osborne, director of property services at Whitefriars, said: "This major regeneration scheme will transform homes and the area to deliver a fresh new contemporary look.
"Through excellent partnership working with the local community we have arrived at a scheme that will give more attractive, warmer and more energy efficient homes.
"Our appointment of Lovell marks an important first step in getting work under way on this large-scale project."
Lovell director of business development Peter Quinn added: "This is a significant programme of improvements that will provide major benefits to residents living in the Manor Farm community."
