Description

Leeds City Council has significant Housing stock of over 50,000. The council has a duty to ensure it has adequate resources to repair, maintain and improve its stock. This contract will give the council adequate capacity to address the high volume of disrepair claims and support the council in the delivery of its strategic obligations of preventative maintenance and strategic disrepair prevention activity. When a disrepair claim is submitted and the Council is subjected to legal action relating to the condition of Council owned property. Such legal actions will necessitate the execution of works to Council owned property. The works, identified during the course of legal claims for disrepair, comprise random repair and maintenance and remedial works to Council owned properties and their environs, of which the majority will be occupied. Some may need to be carried out to vacant housing properties from where the tenants have been temporarily re-housed owing to the extent of the proposed works. The Contractor should take account that these works are often undertaken within restricted timescales imposed by Court Orders, Injunctions and or legally enforceable agreements and that the execution of the work within these timescales is paramount. Where the Council incurs a consequential loss due to the performance of the contractor the Council will seek to recover these costs from the contractor. Repair work to occupied properties shall generally be carried out by pre-arranged appointment, made by the Contractor in accordance with instruction from the Contract Administrator.
