Concession Contract - Void Utility Management Provider

Notice Description

Concession Contract for the provision of a Void Utility Management provider. The procurement of an external company to manage the disconnection and reconnection of residential utility services in Hackney void properties.

The provider will need to upgrade utility meters at all void properties to the latest open protocol smart meters. The Council also seeks a provider that will also provide support to the residents of Hackey, particularly the most vulnerable.
