To consider a report from the Director of Operations seeking authority to exercise the final option in the 4+1+1 year contract for the inspection and maintenance of gas appliances across the Housing Revenue Account stock.

The Cabinet had before it a *report of the Director of Operations seeking authority to exercise the option in the 4+1+1 year contract  for the inspection and maintenance of gas appliances across the Housing Revenue Account stock.

The Cabinet Member for Housing and Property Services outlined the contents of the report stating that the report sought an extension to the current contract for the HRA stock and that a new tender process would be undertaken in 2020 to ensure continuance of service from April 2021.

Consideration was given to:

·         Whether the provider was meeting the expectations of the authority

·         The fact that the authority was happy with the standard of service

RESOLVED that the option to extend the existing contact for a further year from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 be approved.
