To enter into an 18-month contract for the provision of property compliance, repair and maintenance and tenancy management services for residential properties the council owns and leases out, including properties purchased under the Local Authority Housing Fund (LAHF) and those leased from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) under the Service Family Accommodation (SFA) scheme.
The number of properties that will be purchased under the LAHF scheme is an initial 14 under the first round of funding, with possible 4 additional units purchased using later funding.
The number of MOD properties that will be leased is an initial 24, but potentially up to 48 in total
The contract will start as soon as approval is obtained and contract negotiations completed, and will last for 18 months, ending in early 2025. During that time officers will undertake work to determine how these services will be provided beyond this arrangement, and that consideration has already begun.
