How to Bid for Works
How to bid for
works to your block or estate
Every year part of our planned maintenance
budget is allocated to a Major Repairs Allowance (MRA) for
residents and stakeholders to bid for funding to pay for works or
facilities for their block or estate. MRA funding can be used for
schemes that improve your security or environment such as secure
fencing works, door entry systems, paving works, play ground
improvements, railings, and other communal repairs of a larger
nature than maintenance.
Anyone can bid for MRA funding even if they do
not belong to a residents association. After all of the bids for a
year have been received we ask our contract partners to prepare and
cost draft schemes. These are then presented to the Contract Panels
for each area, who prioritise the schemes. This is because
there is normally not enough funding for all of the schemes.
Once a decision has been made, residents of
each block affected are then given a news letter and option sheet
to tell them about the draft schemes and ask if they are happy for
it to go ahead.
If the majority of residents who reply say that they agree with
the scheme it will go ahead. If there are leaseholders who will be
charged a share of the costs of the work, we will start the legal
consultation process.
If you would like more information about MRA
biding, please contact:

speak to Mr Bob Yeo; Project Manager Planned Maintenance.
