## Description

Nottingham City Homes is an Arms' Length Management Organisation \(ALMO\) created in 2005 by Nottingham City Council to manage its housing stock of 27,500 rented homes and over 1,000 leasehold properties\. This includes approximately 18,000 houses and bungalows, 2,000 high-rise flats and almost 8,000 low-rise flats 2 / 4 \(including independent living accommodation for older people\)\. The Nottingham City Homes \(NCH\) Corporate Plan 2018-21 places customers at the heart of service delivery\. Our goals for the lifetime of this Plan reflect our ambition to be the best social housing organisation in the UK: • To listen to our tenants and deliver an excellent housing service • To make all our estates great places to live • To build high quality, affordable new homes for local people • To diversify our services, re-investing in our communities • To be a great place to work\. Nottingham City Homes is looking to appoint a suitable contractor to undertake the Low Rise Refuse Chute Compliance Work\. There are 91 low rise blocks in Nottingham increasingly suffering from repair issues relating to the refuse chutes due to age, wear and tear\. Little maintenance work has been carried out to the chutes since their construction\. In 2017 and 2018 we commissioned surveys to waste chutes which confirmed that the replacement of hoppers and closure plates is required to ensure that current compliance requirements are met under the Fire Safety Order 2005\.
