Repair and maintenance services

Tender description

Bristol and Bath and North East Somerset have a growing population of older people and people who have a disability or life limiting long term illness. Older people and people with disabilities are likely to be living in their own homes and are more likely to be on low incomes, affected by fuel poverty and find it more difficult to keep their homes in good repair. We want to help people to help themselves and empower them to remain living safe and well. For this reason we want people to remain living independently in their own homes for as long as they are able to. We understand that having a home that is in a decent state of repair and adapted to suit them and their families need is essential in sustaining health and wellbeing. BCC and B and NES are commissioning a Home Improvement Agency service.
