16/09/2024 - Procurement Strategy and Award of contracts to provide consultancy support for various schemes within the Housing Capital Programme

That the Executive Director of Finance and Corporate Services, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing and Homelessness:

 

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

 

  1. Approves the procurement strategy proposing the use of the ‘Consultancy Services Framework Agreement’ award procedure for the provision of multi-disciplinary services to enable the delivery of projects outlined in Appendix 1. The estimated values of each commission is included in Appendix 1. The commissions are expected to start in July 2024 and conclude after approximately 3 years depending on the completion of the relevant works contracts.

 

  1. Approves the award of a contract to Keegans Limited, ranked first under the Council’s ‘Consultancy Services Framework Agreement’ award procedure, to provide multi-disciplinary services for proposed schemes at Swan Court/Ravensworth Court and Arthur Henderson House/William Banfield House as detailed in Appendix 1.  The value is estimated at £262,320.  Although Keegans are ranked first they have agreed to progress the Swan Court and associated properties project and step aside from supporting the Lytton Estate project. 

 

  1. Approves the award of a contract to Pellings LLP, ranked second under the Council’s ‘Consultancy Services Framework Agreement’ award procedure, to provide multi-disciplinary services for proposed schemes at West Kensington and Lytton estates as detailed in Appendix 1.  The value is estimated at £417,860.

 

  1. Notes that the estimated fees detailed in Appendix 1 will be recalculated based on the total contract value and service proposal for each project and will be detailed in individual works contract award reports.
