What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe 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

occupants while the full procurement process for longer-term solutions is completed.
