Minutes:

Bromley’s formal contract for the procurement and management of private sector leased properties and management of Council owned temporary accommodation which formed an important part of the Council’s temporary accommodation portfolio was due to expire on 31 March 2021.

 

Members were therefore requested to consider the commissioning options for the service which were set out in this report.

 

Further confidential information was also considered in the Part 2 (Exempt from Publication) report.

 

In regard to the Covid-19 pandemic, Councillor Botting referred to correspondence she had received from a gentleman who had offered to make his studio flats available to the Council for quarantine purposes.  The Director of Housing, Planning and Regeneration was requested to consider this very kind and generous offer.

 

The report was noted and comments provided to Members of the Executive Committee.
