Repair Works for Occupied Homes

Leeds City Council manages over 50,000 housing units and is committed to maintaining and improving these properties. This contract aims to enhance the Council's capacity to handle a high volume of disrepair claims and fulfill its responsibilities for preventative maintenance and addressing disrepair issues. When a disrepair claim is filed, the Council may face legal actions that require it to perform necessary repairs and improvements on its properties. The work involved typically includes various repair and maintenance tasks identified through these legal claims, primarily focusing on occupied properties. In some cases, repairs may also be needed in vacant properties where tenants have been temporarily relocated due to the extent of the work required. Contractors must be aware that many of these repairs are subject to strict deadlines set by court orders or legal agreements, making timely execution of the work essential. Repairs in occupied homes will generally be scheduled by the Contractor based on instructions from the Contract Administrator. Additionally, Leeds City Council has engaged separate contractors for the maintenance of gas appliances and heating systems in these homes.
