The report of the Strategic Director

Presented by the Housing, Property and Customer Services Portfolio Holder

The Housing, Property and Customer Services Portfolio Holder presented the report, outlining how the Housing Improvement Programme had been impacted by Covid.

The procurement of an external contractor was proposed, in order to ensure tenants continued to live in decent, high quality, affordable homes whilst also reducing energy usage to benefit the environment.

It was noted that the cost of procuring an external contractor would be broadly the same as that required by the Council’s in house repair team to undertake the same work.

It was moved by Councillor R Bayliss and seconded by Councillor N Rushton and

RESOLVED THAT:

Authority be delegated to the Strategic Director to award the Covid Recovery Support Contract for home improvement work in consultation with the Section 151 Officer and Portfolio Holder be approved.

Reason for decision: The level of expenditure on the proposed contract exceeds the authority level in the Scheme of delegation.
