Recommendation

That Housing Committee delegate authority to the Executive Director, Housing Neighbourhoods & Communities to procure and award a contract for up to two providers of works to deliver kitchens and bathrooms in council housing.

Historical annual expenditure is approximately £1.45 million, and the HRA budget provision allows for this level of expenditure subject to future budget setting.
