Decision details

Extension of contract 27176 – Corporate Furniture Contract in line with the original awarded contract

Reference: D41599

Decision Maker: Deputy Chief Executive

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Director of Resources is recommended to extend the award of the contract for the design, installation and supply of office based furniture to Flexiform Business Furniture Ltd

 

Extend the contract with Flexiform for a 12 month period from 1st October 2014 in line with the original contract award in 2012.

 

The current contract with Flexiform, ref LCC27176, for Corporate Furniture is due to expire 30th September 2014 with the option to extend for 2 x 12 month period.

 

It is recommended that the contract with Flexiform is extended for a period of 12 months from 1st October 2014 to 30th September 2015.

 

The purpose of the report is to seek approval to extend the contract with Flexiform for the provision of Corporate Furniture for a 12 month period.

 

Should this contract not be extended for 12 months there is the risk that there would be no contract in place from October 2014 and the significant work undertaken on standardising office furniture would be wasted as purchases would be made from a variety of sources and would not meet the objective of having standard office furniture when the move to Merrion House takes place in 2017.

 

 

Decision:

The Director of Resources is recommended to extend the award of the contract for the design, installation and supply of office based furniture to Flexiform Business Furniture Ltd
