Under regulation 6(1)(b) of the EIRs, we do not have to give you information which is already publicly available and easily accessible to you in another form or format.

How many surveyors and fire engineers had been procured to carry out single building assessments so far. Breakdown by year.

Surveyors and fire engineers can be commissioned either through a direct procurement process or through grant funding. The contracts are generally with companies rather than individuals and therefore may not directly relate to the number of individuals working on a project. The work undertaken by fire engineers and surveyors may be across financial years so while the work may be commissioned in one year the work may cross into another financial year. Three grants have been issued to date in 2023 and one direct procurement. 21 grants were issued for Single Building Assessments in 2022 and a further 2 grants issued in 2021.

How many buildings have been contacted/work done to remove cladding? Breakdown by region.
