I refer to the Department of Housing’s new Head Contractor Maintenance Model, and ask -
(1) Is there a contractual obligation for either the head contractor and/or their sub-contractors to meet a requirement for the employment of apprentices?
(2) If yes to (1), what is that requirement?
(3) What is the process for ensuring compliance with this requirement?
(4) Is there a mandatory reporting requirement or is it self-regulated?
(5) What is the current number of apprentices currently employed by contractors or subcontractors, engaged with providing maintenance under the current model arrangements?
