Background
The Housing Revenue Account (HRA) team at Tendring District Council (TDC) is responsible for maintaining the housing stock in Tendring. The current housing portfolio consists of approximately 3,121 homes, including sheltered units and other types of accommodation. The gas contracts, which make up a significant portion of the HRA's expenditure, are currently divided into two separate contracts: the Gas Heater Refurbishment & Upgrade Contract and the Domestic Heating & Maintenance Contract. These contracts are also split geographically into North and South regions. However, we are considering merging these contracts into one larger contract and to cover the entire district.
