That  (i)    approval be
granted to commence procurement of a contractor to deliver the
Lakeview Estate Refurbishment Scheme;

         
(ii)   procurement will be
undertaken through the London Construction Programme Housing Major
Works framework (LCP MW24-H Framework (Lot 2.3)) by way of a
mini-competition;

         
(iii)  the Head of Housing Assets, in
consultation with the Strategic Director – Communities, be
authorised to progress the procurement and return to Executive for
approval of the contract award; and

ensure the buildings remain habitable through replacement of
temporary fire safety measures with permanent solutions, and to
address end-of-life components such as roofs, windows, and doors
alongside external wall systems.
