Authority to utilise Regulation 72 (1) (b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to vary the current contract for the provision of building materials.

Reference: D56093

Decision Maker: Director of Resources

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

LBS is currently mobilising a number of new materials providers. This is a complex project that requires a significant amount of ICT interfacing between the Council’s Total Connect system and the new providers’ systems - in addition to other mobilisation matters such as acquiring new premises.

The service is therefore seeking approval to vary the contract with the existing provider, Wolseley UK Limited for 3 months. This will ensure that LBS and the new suppliers have sufficient time to mobilise and ensure a smooth handover.

The contract Wolseley UK Ltd will be varied, and extended untill 30th June 2023.

Decision:

The Director of Resources has approved the proposal to vary the existing contract with Wolseley UK Limited and extend the provision for a period of three months, 1st April 2023 to 30th June 2023, in accordance with Public Contract Regulations - Regulation 72 1(b) with an estimated value of £1,000,000.
