Decision details

The Council is currently in the process of procuring its future Repairs, Maintenance and Capital Delivery contracts, all which are set to commence in July 2026. These include:

Lot 1 – Repairs, Maintenance and Capital Delivery

Lot 2 – Mechanical and Electrical

Lot 3 – Lift Maintenance

Lot 4 – Fire, Safety and Security

Lot 5 – Legionella

To allow sufficient time for this procurement, the Council extended the existing TAM contract with Cardo by two years, with an expiry date of 30th June 2026.

In 2023, through the Interim Contract Strategy several non-compliant agreements were formalised. Most of these agreements involve managing or supporting workstreams delivered by Cardo. Most of these providers are local SMEs, and feedback from the client officer indicates they are delivering a high-quality service for the Council and our residents.
