Background:

 

This report requested the Cabinet’s agreement to commence the procurement of the Responsive Repairs and Capital Works contract (which was intended to include gas servicing, void property repairs, compliance, external decorating) and call handling for repairs management. 

 

The report had previously been considered by the Procurement Board on 21 December 2022, which had recommended it to the Cabinet for approval. It was proposed to run a holistic tendering activity using open market tender to reprocure services for a 12-year term (subject to contract and performance). It was also proposed to procure up to ten different contracts, which were set out within section 2 of the report.

 

A Diversity Impact Assessment had been carried out and was attached as Appendix 1 to the report.

Decision:

 

06/2023

The Cabinet approved the procurement commencement of the Housing Revenue Account’s Repairs and Planned works contract (with associated compliance contracts) as per the preferred option identified in section 5.3 of this report

 

Reasons:

 

The recommendations contained within are provided on the basis that the current contract ceases on 31 August 2024 and cannot be extended. Failure to provide a repair and maintenance service will mean the Council cannot meet its statutory obligations in terms of maintenance of its stock.
