The new contract came into place last year following a strict procurement process.
Cllr Colin Hamilton, the Council's lead member for public and private housing welcomed the news. He said: "I am pleased to see this new contract in place as we continue to invest in our housing stock. The scheduled improvements will offer a better standard of living for our tenants.
"They will also be refurbishing empty Council properties to help get them back into use. I am looking forward to seeing Jeakins Weir deliver this contract to a high standard as well as showing care and compassion to Council tenants. "
The two-year contract has potential to be extended for an additional two-years and has an estimated value of the initial period of £8 million.
