Ten firms are knocking on the door for a £60m-plus housing
upgrade deal in north London.
The scheme up for grabs is part of a three-year project to revamp 5,500 homes for Brent Housing Partnership, Brent council's arm's length management organisation (ALMO).
The 10 are already working in Brent on the first year's tranche of work, worth around £25m.
The ALMO is currently running the rule over the firms' performances and it is understood that probably four of the outfits will be selected to carry on and tackle tasks in tranches two and three.
A source said: "Performance will be reviewed every year, with the aim of entering into partnering arrangements with the best."
The aim is to bring the council's stock up to the decent homes standard. Work includes replacing kitchens, bathrooms, windows and roofs, rewiring and external decorations.
Brent is expected to make its final selection of contractors before the close of this month.
