Within this role LGAH will oversee and monitor the redevelopment/refurbishment of the Seven Sisters social housing flats. The appointment of the project manager of the redevelopment /refurbishment works and of the contractor to carry out the refurbishment will be made pursuant to a fully compliant regulated procurement process. The appointment of the refurbishment contractor to carry out the redevelopment /refurbishment works will be made pursuant to a fully compliant regulated procurement process. The plan is that LGAH will take ownership of the Seven Sisters social housing blocks of flats shortly after the completion of the refurbishment of each block (partial transfer until full transfer of all seven blocks).
