Decision details

This will not create a new project or service, but simply procure an additional contractor to supplement existing provision. The estimated value of this contract will be circa £1m. The contract will last 12 months with an option to extend for a further 12 months if required.

The existing general repairs service provider cannot manage current volumes and is aware of the need to procure additional capacity.

The Director of Resources & Housing is requested to approve the tender evaluation process and the proposed award of a contract to Engie for an initial period of one year from 1st October 2018, with an option to exercise a further one year extension, subject to satisfactory contractor performance.

Appendix 1 to this report has been marked as exempt under Access to Information Procedure Rules 10.4 (3) on the basis that it contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) which, if disclosed to the public, would, or would be likely to prejudice the commercial interests of that person or of the Council.  The information is exempt if and for so long as in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.  In this case the report author considers that it is in the public interest to maintain the exemption.

The current provider of multi-trade services to the Disrepair team has been consulted and made aware of this process.

The Disrepair team has thoroughly assessed the volume and complexity of the current workload; they have concluded that procuring an additional provider is the best course of action.
