Agenda item - Procurement programme for Housing repairs, planned maintenance and capital works

38.1    Officers introduced the report and stated that the current contract would expire in 2020. The contract covered repairs, planned works and capital improvements. Residents’ views will shape the new contract and service through working groups. The Housing Team aimed to make the consultation as wide and inclusive as possible.

38.2    In response to Residents officers stated:

·      Historically contracts had been split geographically across the city but there was the possibility of splitting the contract different i.e. by types of work.

·      It was a legal requirement to go out to tender at the end of the contract.

·      By completing a full consultation the new contract tendered in 2020 would show what is expected of the service upfront.

·      There would be the opportunity to examine and change the lifecycle of a repair.

38.3    In response to Councillors and the Chair officers stated that they would publish a programme of engagement events for both Members and Residents.

38.4    Resolved: That the Panel noted the report
