Decision details

The decision was to obtain approval for Denbighshire County Council to commence a procurement and enter into a works contract with an Asbestos Surveying and Analytical Contractor. The purpose for requiring this approval was due to the contract being bespoke and structured for a term of 12 months with the opportunity to extend at intervals of 12 months to a maximum of 10 years’ dependant on performance.

To approve the Procurement of Asbestos Surveying and Analytical Contract.

The reason for making this decision was to enable the Council to maintain a contractual agreement with an Asbestos Surveying and Analytical contractor in order to deliver the ongoing maintenance of Asbestos provision.

The Council had an existing agreement with North Star Environmental, following a procurement exercise completed in November 2018. However, the team have decided a more flexible and streamlined approach would be preferred. Following consultation with the Legal and Procurement teams it was felt that a Call-Off Contract would facilitate a better working relationship between partners and allow for a more bespoke service.

The existing framework agreement between Denbighshire County Council and North Star Environmental expired on 11^th November 2022. This has been extended to the 31^st January 2023 to allow sufficient time to complete the procurement process.
