Purpose: The council has a duty to repair and maintain properties under its housing stock to a decent habitable standard.   In June 2023, Cabinet approved the award of a contract to Wates Property Services Limited for the provision of responsive repairs and maintenance services. The contract is for an initial period of 2 years, ending on 5th June 2025. The contract includes an option to extend for a further period of up to 2 years, in 1-year extensions.   This report recommends an extension of the current contract with Wates Property Services Limited for a period of 1 year from 6th June 2025 to 5th June 2026 at a value up to £4,500,000. These services are crucial to the council’s operations. Wates Property Services Limited has performed well over the last 2 years, and it will be expected that they continue to deliver at the same level as a minimum.
