The owners of the buildings are initially requested to carry out the work themselves but if this does not happen then the Authority are authorised to make arrangements to carry out the necessary work themselves (via a contractor). The costs for carrying out these works are met by the Authority who in turn will recover the costs from the owner. In a similar way, under Sections 77 or 78 of the Building Act 1984, the Authority is also responsible for ensuring that any structurally unstable buildings (or structures) are made safe by way of either stabilization or demolition. Again the owners of the buildings (or structures) are encouraged to carry out the works themselves but if this does not happen then the Authority are authorised to make arrangements to carry out the necessary work themselves (via a contractor). Again, the costs for carrying out these works are met by the Authority who in turn will recover the costs from the owner. ## CPV classification Building construction work Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/215fb63e-adca-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
