Service Area
Housing and Technical Resources
Aims and Objectives
South Lanarkshire Council are the primary funder of the South Lanarkshire Care and Repair Service, and annually contribute £485,000 to this service.
Across Scotland these services are being tendered by local authorities and it is believed that efficiencies could be achieved through this tendering process, with the potential for savings, if it is delivered though a larger provider with management structures already in place to support the service.
Conclusion
As part of the Resources 10/11 savings, it is proposed to tender the Care and Repair Service, with a view to making efficiency savings. Following the impact assessment undertaken, the Council has reached the conclusion that the implementation of this saving will not have any significant impact on any equality group.
