Procurement strategy for a works contract to carry out Special Educational Needs adaptations to a housing property

Decision Maker: Executive Director of Finance and Corporate Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Approval of this procurement strategy is required to source a contractor to undertake adaptations to a Council property. This paper outlines the proposal, associated funding and potential decant required. The proposal has been developed via collaboration between housing and children’s services colleagues.

Decision:

1.    To note that Appendix 1 is not for publication on the basis that it contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) as set out in paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).

 

2.    To approve the procurement strategy to source a suitable contractor to carry out the refurbishment of a single-dwelling house. The procurement route will be through Southeast Consortium’s suite of public sector frameworks to source a works contractor via direct award or a mini-competition process to undertake the major adaptations to the property.

 

Reasons for the decision:

The property requires urgent repairs to make it safe prior to the more extensive renovation works for specialist adaptation and an extension (which have a minimum lead in time of approximately four to six months).

Alternative options considered:

Option 1: Procure the works via invitation to submit quotations – recommended.

 

Option 2: Do not procure the works – not recommended.
