The Director of Children’s Services agreed to:
· Agree the procurement strategy in line with CPR 3.1.8 as a Cost Led Procurement, using YORbuild2 framework, an existing supplier arrangement in line with 3.1.6. CPRs 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 do not apply as there is no ISP to undertake this work and there are no exclusive supplier arrangements;
· Agree the waiver of CPR 15.2 (tender evaluation) replacing the 40% price mark with a pass/fail price threshold;
· Note that this decision is subject to the outcome of the statutory consultation process resulting in approval of the expansion of Shakespeare Primary, however due to timescales, the Governance process for this decision is being undertaken now to ensure the scheme can commence straight away if the expansion is formally approved; and
· Note that the Chief Officer, Projects, Programmes and Procurement Unit (PPPU) is responsible for the scheme delivery which is scheduled for completion September 2018.
