That sentence, in plain words

The agency must post what the contract is for. It must name the firm that won it. It must give the date the work went out. It must give the bids and the name of the official who ran it.

What this is about

This covers contracts signed in the year before. It goes on the agency's own website. The housing agency has one year to require it.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
