Major Works and Section 20 Notices

Schedule 4 (Part 1) – Qualifying Works Where Public Notice is Required

Due to the sum of the works, the landlord is legally required to advertise the proposed contract by Public Notice on the Find a Tender Service.

A two-stage S20 consultation will be carried out:

• The Stage 1 notice will give leaseholders the opportunity to raise observations but they will not have the right to nominate a contractor
• The Stage 2 notice will include the estimated costs given by the contractor

Each will last for a minimum of 30 days.

Schedule 4 (Part 2) - Qualifying Works Where Public Notice is Not Required

If the cost of the works mean the landlord will not be required to advertise by Public Notice.

They will not use a contractor through an existing long-term agreement (as per Schedule 3)

Instead the landlord will go through a full tendering process:

• a two-stage S20 consultation will be carried out (each lasting a minimum of 30 days)
• the Stage 1 notice will give homeowners the opportunity to raise observations and they will have the right to nominate a contractor
• the Stage 2 notice will give estimated costs following tender returns.

After this we can enter into a contract for the works.

If we do not give the contract to a contractor you have nominated or to the contractor with the lowest estimate:

• we will write to you saying why we chose a different contractor
• and give a summary of your comments and our response to those comments.
