Agenda item

Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services in respect of progress made with the Housing Major Works Programme.

Further to Members’ requests at the last meeting, a new works delivery forecast had been provided and Members were pleased with the new format as it would show a position change at each meeting. 

Members noted that one of the major causes of slippage was due to a lack of interest from Contractors.  The Assistant Director advised that he had been working with City Procurement; i.e. conducting soft market testing and engaging with contractors, to seek a framework for future major works tenders.

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
