Decision Maker: Corporate Director Resources & Section 151 Officer
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Agreed: that
a) that the contract with Sure Maintenance to deliver central heating installations and insulation measures in private rented homes across Wales be terminated by mutual agreement and
b) the Affordable Warmth Solutions funding be distributed to private landlords directly through a grant award of up to £2660 as set out in the report and in accordance with the Recipient Agreement and
c) it be agreed to enter into any necessary agreements to reflect the changes set out in this report as and when required including but not limited to any updates to the Recipient Agreement and any grant agreements.
The scheme has been in place for a year but has not delivered as expected due to, in the main, the financial contribution the landlord has to make. Feedback from landlords has indicated that the scheme would be more viable if they were able to procure their own contractors. Failure to adapt will result in the loss of this funding stream to Wales.
