Notice Title

Essential Repairs to welfare units Dunlop Close

Notice Description

The contract is for the appointment of a suitably qualified contractor to undertake essential repairs and renewal works to two welfare units currently occupied by two families at the travellers' site. The welfare units have deteriorated into a state of disrepair as a result of historic lack of maintenance and site management. The works are required to ensure the units remain safe, habitable, and compliant with basic standards. This contract is intended as a short-term, interim measure to maintain the welfare units and support occupants while the full procurement process for longer-term solutions is completed.
