The Director of Children & Families agreed
to:
1. Approve the waiving of the following Contracts Procedure Rule to
enable the procurement, delivery and installation of all identified
pieces of furniture and equipment necessary to populate the new
SEMH schools in East Leeds (Seacroft) delivered under the SEMH
Programme.
a) CPR 9.1
“Where no appropriate internal provider, Exclusive Supplier,
existing provider Third Party Framework Agreement exists,
competition is required for procurements valued over
£100k.”
b) CPR 9.2
“Where there are sufficient numbers of providers at least
four written tenders will be invited.”
2. Allow the use of a central purchasing body, the Yorkshire
Purchasing Organisation (YPO) for the procurement of the identified
furniture & equipment at the Leeds East SEMH development. This
will include for design (where appropriate), delivery and
installation of the identified items.
3. Note that the specification for the required furniture &
equipment at East Leeds SEH has been drawn up in conjunction with
the ‘End User’ (Wellspring Academy Trust). This report
seeks means to efficiently and quickly procure this equipment in
keeping with the project timeline.
4. Note that placement of orders for the identified furniture and
equipment is needed three months prior to delivery and installation
to ensure sufficient fabrication and procurement time is available
to the appointed contractor. Leeds East is due for handover in
December 2017 and therefore placement of the order for the
furniture and equipment is required by the end of October
2017.
