In addition to the transfer, Tristar Homes Ltd intends to form a group structure with Housing Hartlepool, the Landlord for approximately 7,000 homes in and around Hartlepool.
It is envisaged that the group ("the Group") will be a party to the framework agreement, along with Housing Hartlepool and Tristar Homes Ltd.
Contractors should note that the award of a framework agreement is subject to the successful stock transfer to Tristar Homes Ltd.
