Wigan Council required the refurbishment of communal areas at two sheltered housing schemes: Samswood House, Ashton in Makerfield, and 19 Westfield Road, Atherton. The works formed part of the Council’s wider programme of sheltered housing upgrades and focused on improving shared spaces and accessibility for residents.
Works to shared internal areas, accessibility upgrades including the formation of a new scooter ramp, and associated refurbishment works to enhance resident facilities across both schemes.
Neo Projects Limited was appointed by Wigan Council to act as Contract Administrator, providing full tender and pre contract / post contract services. This included compiling the tender documentation, preparing the priced works schedule and managing the tender process via The Chest e-tendering portal during the pre contract period.
Once the contracts were signed with the successful Contractor, the project was delivered within live residential environments, requiring careful coordination of works, programme management and stakeholder considerations to minimise disruption while achieving the Council’s quality and functional requirements.
Neo provided technical oversight throughout the short duration of the project, identifying issues during progress meetings to assist the project team with their roles and responsibilities.
The scheme was successfully completed and handed over to the client in June 2025.
