Decision details

To seek approval to award a contract for the provision of pan-borough responsive capital works.

Reason for urgency:

Urgent decision is required to approve the appointment of the potential contractor to undertake Responsive Capital Works across the borough and, in particular, to enable respective departments within the Council to commence the delivery of various projects, some of which, such as fire safety, are urgent.

That the Cabinet Member for Housing:

1.    Agrees that Appendix A is exempt from disclosure on the grounds that it contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) under paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) and in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

2.          Approves the award of the Responsive Capital contract to Kier Services Limited for five years from 1^st May 2021 (with an option to extend for two additional years), for a total potential value of £75m over the five-year term subject to orders placed.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council has a legal obligation to ensure its properties are maintained. The Responsive Capital Contract will ensure that LBHF has capacity to deal with any major capital project concerning housing maintenance and safety that arises.

The recommendations outlined are based on a competitive tendering process in line with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Final Tenders received were evaluated by the Council’s evaluation team against published evaluation criteria. The Contractor recommended for appointment was identified as the most economically advantageous tenderers having applied the evaluation criteria.
