Reasons for decision

 

Following a competitive exercise to ensure best value, Cabinet accepted tenders for different contractors for the Void Property Repair Service. The Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport noted the series of contractors that would cover three distinct areas of the Borough to help return vacated properties to the rentable housing stock efficiently and quicker.

 

Alternative options considered and rejected

 

Cabinet could have considered ad hoc tenders for batches of works, but for various reasons, as set out in the confidential report, discounted this.

Classification

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).
