Purpose:

Content: The Leader and Cabinet Member for Strategic Growth presented a report regarding the extension of the existing Contract for the delivery of Gas Compliance, Repairs, Smoke Detector Testing and Capital Boiler works within Housing Services and a call off option within the contract being utilised by Facilities Management for the delivery of services in Corporate Buildings. It was noted that further consideration of additional compliance contracts would be forthcoming. In response to a Member request regarding heat pumps being offered to replace boilers, it was agreed that a report setting on views on longer term investments be provided at a future meeting.   Decision: Cabinet approved the extension of the existing Sureserve Compliance Northwest Compliance Ltd Contract for twelve months until 1st January 2027.   Reasons for the decision: The contract delivers Landlord Statutory Compliance Services on behalf of the Council. The extension is required to allow time for an options appraisal to be carried out on the future delivery of gas services.   Alternative options considered and rejected: Re-procurement has been considered; however, due to the Building Safety, Repairs and Property restructure this was rejected as the time and capacity required are not yet in place.

Date of Decision: October 15, 2025
