RESOLVED:

 

That the Cabinet approve the 1-year contract extension for:

 

1.    Pilon Ltd - For the Void Services Contract North Area to housing properties for the estimated annual cost of £1.433k based on a like for like activity over the last 12 months.

2.    Greyline Ltd - For the Void Services Contract South Area to housing properties for the estimated annual cost of £1.705k based on a like for like activity over the last 12 months.

 

Reasons for decision

Cabinet agreed to extend contracts for the repair of void (or empty) housing properties to ensure that the Council’s housing stock was in good order. The Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport noted the great strides that had been made in reducing the number of void properties over the years.

Alternative options considered and rejected

 

Cabinet could have considered retendering, but considered this not an option due to the current volatility in the market.

Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
