Purpose

A medium-term procurement pipeline has been developed for
repairs, maintenance, and building compliance work. This
covers planned and responsive maintenance as well as specialist
compliance activities, including damp, condensation, and mould treatment. The
coordinated approach strengthens in-house delivery, helps the Council meet its
statutory obligations, and supports wider goals such as improving tenant
satisfaction and service resilience. By publishing the contract pipeline in
line with the Procurement Act 2023, the Council is ensuring transparency,
enabling providers to plan effectively, and aligning activity with its
corporate direction.

 

Bringing this pipeline together provides visibility over the
medium term and supports the achievement of best value for the Council. It does
not require additional funding and is already incorporated into approved
budgets and the Council’s Medium-Term Financial Strategy (MTFS).

 

The purpose of this report is to present the pipeline for
public visibility and to seek formal approval and delegated authority to
proceed with the procurements and award the resulting contracts, ensuring best
value for the Council.
