Responsive repairs contracts for housing
Decision maker:
Cabinet
Decision:
6 Sep 2021
Lead officer:
William Shanks
Decision status:
Recommendations Approved
Notice of proposed decision first published: 16/08/2021
Reason for urgency:
The paper will recommend that LBHF give notice to one of the three contractors and mobilise the reserve contract that is in place. The decision needs to be taken urgently so the demobilisation and remobilisation process can commence immediately and conclude before the winter months, when demand for housing repairs typically increases significantly. The strategy outlined in the paper is for the handover date to be 29th October - something that is only possible if the decision is made via Leader's Urgency, as the demobilisation/remobilisation process will take two months (it will involve a TUPE transfer between contractors). If demobilisation and remobilisation is delayed there is a major risk of service failure during the winter months and a negative impact on tenant satisfaction and wellbeing.
