Items will need to be delivered on agreed dates and placed in the correct locations\. White goods such as cookers and washing machines should also be installed\. Gas appliances must be installed by a registered Gas Safe tradesperson and certification must be provided\. Qualified plumbers and electricians will also be required, and any other relevant certification must be provided\. Due to the limited notice we are provided of refugee arrivals, you will be required to mobilise quickly and furnish homes within 10-working days of notification\. To reduce pressure on your time as the supplier, and our officers time, it is required that most items will be delivered and installed on the same day\.
