Report Title: Roof Replacements 2024/25

Presented by: Councillor Paul McGeary – Cabinet Member for Housing and Property

Summary:

This work supports the Housing Asset Management Strategy 2021-26 and is identified within the HRA Business Plan approved by Cabinet in February 2024

As part of the Council’s responsibility as a landlord, the Council has a duty to undertake repairs and maintenance works to its Housing Revenue Account (HRA) housing stock. This report presents to Cabinet details of the proposed tender process to re-procure this service and seeks approval to procure and delegated approval to the subsequent award of contract.

The current HRA annual capital budget for primary roofing works is around £2.6 million per annum. The purpose of this contract is to allow the replacement of roofs to properties ensuring the Councils Decent Homes standards are met.

This is to be an interim contract intended to continue delivery of roofing works whilst Housing Services undertake a more extensive procurement exercise which will deliver works of this nature from 2026/27 onwards.

Monies have been identified within the HRA 30-year business plan and contract spend will be aligned with business priorities and approved budgets on an annual basis.
