Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

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.
