Brief Description |
The decision is to undertake a call-off using the councils’ Kitchens, Bathrooms and Rewires framework set up in 2018, and award a contract for works to an external contractor. The council’s in-house service provider Leeds Building Services are delivering substantial kitchen and bathroom works in 21/22 and does not currently have capacity to undertake the additional works that are needed. This need has arisen partially as an impact of Covid on delivery and capacity. The required works delivered through this contract are predominantly resulting from referrals from the repairs team, where kitchens or bathrooms are beyond repair. Activity supports the upgrade and modernisation of homes and benefits over 200 households across the city. The estimated value of the works to be delivered externally is £1.4m, the three current framework contractors will be invited to bid under a mini competition. |
