Decision details

The Director of Children's Services agreed to:
* approve the waiver of the following Contracts Procedure Rules to enable the delivery of essential accommodation at a selected number of schools identified within the attached report to support the 2016 Bulge Cohorts Programme:
- CPR 9.1 - Where no appropriate internal provider, exclusive supplier, existing provider, LLC approved framework or approved framework exists, competition is required for procurements valued over £100k.
- CPR 9.2 - Where there are sufficient numbers of providers at least four written tenders will be invited. Tenders must be invited by publishing an open opportunity on the YORtender portal or inviting tenders from suppliers using Constructionline (if applicable, please see the construction and housing category team for advice). Authorised Officers should consider CP 1.1.3 when deciding which approach to take.
* approve the engagement of the LLEP via the existing Strategic Partnering Agreement and generate a programme of works that will be delivered at selected schools that cannot be met by the Internal Service Provider or an existing Framework Agreement in time for the start of the 2016 September term.
