Building contractor - Lambeth street properties

[dcraig]

Hi all,

I live in Camberwell SE5 and am currently in a section 20 consultation for Major Works with our freeholder Lambeth Council.

They have given us the opportunity to nominate contractors for the works, which will include roof, external masonry, windows and guttering repairs over around a dozen street properties. The work is currently scheduled for Q1 2021

Lambeth are trialling a new process to try and get better value for leaseholders and the authority, and also to try and give local businesses a chance to bid.

I would really welcome recommendations from any ED construction businesses who could possibly meet the Lambeth criteria - they do need to be big enough to take on the job. This will mean that the business is almost certainly registered on Constructionline (https://www.constructionline.co.uk/) and will have formal systems in place for H&S, training etc. Minimum capital reserve criteria will also apply.

I would love this big chunk of work to go to a local business who will use local sub-contractors and local suppliers to keep the money in our area - thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.

Dan
