30 Second Briefing
Wandle Housing Association has awarded Travis Perkins Managed Services a three-year materials supply contract from 1 April, covering more than 7,000 homes across nine south London boroughs via core branches in Croydon and Peckham plus seven additional outlets. The deal uses TPMS’ TPgo Data platform to give real-time visibility of purchases, product locations and spend, supporting first-time fix targets and tighter control of responsive repairs logistics. Procured through the Cirrus Framework and aligned with Lumensol’s repairs process review, the arrangement aims to cut stockouts, shorten lead times and lower both operating costs and carbon from van mileage.
Technical Brief
- TPMS will draw stock primarily from Croydon and Peckham branches, backed by seven additional outlets.
- Wandle’s 7,000-home portfolio spans nine south London boroughs, driving highly varied materials specifications and call-off patterns.
- TPgo Data provides live product tracking, allowing planners to see exactly which branch holds required SKUs.
- Lumensol’s management consultants are re‑engineering Wandle’s repairs workflow, with TPgo Data integrated into the revised process.
Our Take
Travis Perkins Managed Services has featured in our recent coverage for leadership changes at group level, and this new Wandle Housing Association contract in south London suggests the division is doubling down on social housing frameworks rather than pivoting away from them.
With seven additional Travis Perkins branches feeding stock into Croydon and Peckham, the logistics model here mirrors other UK housing maintenance frameworks where distributed depots are used to cut van miles and improve first-time fix rates, which is increasingly being tied to sustainability KPIs.
