Therefore we estimate the max term spend to be up to £2.5m. Geographical distribution: Housing Solutions was originally formed from transferred Local Authority homes in Maidenhead.

A local and professional contractor has been sought to supply and fit these consistent with the specification attached and in the case of kitchen replacements, liaise with both Housing Solutions and the kitchen supplier to carry out joint design surveys.

However, an alternative pricing option has also been collected for non-Howdens Kitchens (see Appendix 6 - Commercial Response 1 & 2). We do not have a direct relationship with any kitchen manufacturer and expect successful supplier to negotiate their own prices with Howdens and another, being sure to allow for the supply in their basket rates.

Programming Generally, we expect to leave programming of the work to the contractor.
