The Director of Environment and Housing submitted a report providing an overview of the proposed strategy for key strategic procurement exercises that Housing Leeds would conduct between 2015 and 2020. In addition, the report also outlined the approach proposed to be taken in respect of future contracts or internal arrangements regarding the delivery of a number of key services.

RESOLVED –

(a)  That the overall strategy and direction of travel, as set out within the submitted report, be approved;

(b)  That the proposed extensions to the Mears Contracts be noted;

(c)  That the Director of Environment and Housing be authorised to implement the strategy following Executive Board approval under existing powers within the Director’s scheme of delegation.

Internal consultation only has taken place at this stage.  Consultation with existing and prospective contractors will form part of the process following Executive Board approval.  Tenant and residents views will be incorporated into any procurement process that results from the decision.
