There are many services within housing which are not provided directly by the council's housing service, but are provided under contract by a combination of internal and external organisations. Examples of these services are housing maintenance and repairs, estate cleaning, tower block security and grounds maintenance.
The Standards and Procurement unit is responsible for consulting with customers and relevant officers to see how the service is working and any changes required in any new contract, and then writing the specification of services to be included in the contract.
The unit then advertises the contracts and manages the whole tendering process through to the letting of the final contracts. This involves informing interested contractors of the contract details, evaluating and shortlisting contractors, sending out the tender documents, evaluating the bids and interviewing contractors with resident representatives, making recommendations to Committee and appointing contractors.
