The report looked at the previous contract for this work which was terminated due to performance issues.

There remained a need to finish work to 8 blocks where these were incomplete and to undertake full works to the remaining 7 blocks where work had yet to commence.

Given the value and complexity of the work it was necessary to undertake a competitive tender exercise to secure the services of another contractor. This would proceed using the Delta E-Procurement portal.

The cost of both work elements described above was estimated to be £240k.

A motion was MOVED by Cllr Hossack and SECONDED by Cllr Poppy to approve the recommendation in the report.

A vote was taken by a show of hands and it was RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY.

1.        That the Committee formally approver and the Council proceed to tender and delegate power to the Head of Paid Service and Section 151 Officer to award the contract.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION

To enable the contract to be delivered appropriately with a high level of time and cost certainty.
