We are jointly procuring a new repairs contract for responsive repairs and maintenance. We're planning to do that jointly for both councils starting from 2028.
Also said in the meeting
“They would also lead on procurement of a joint repairs contract from April 2028 across Waverley and Guildford, which will take a good 18 months to do.”
“So in terms of repairs that would enable us to do that. There's also a joint head of asset management role which is responsible for longer-term asset management. So that's 30 years worth of asset management at a cost of four or five hundred million pounds.”
