Commenting, Bob Holt, Chairman of Mears said: "The provision of value for money services to the public sector is vital both for the UK economy and the future of Mears. We have long held the view that in terms of quality of service Mears are second to none. This award further demonstrates the positioning of Mears as a first class public sector partner.

"We have been working on behalf of Family Mosaic since 2004. This award represents the biggest contract award in Mears' history. We look forward to continuing to serve the tenants of Family Mosaic for many years to come.
