Minutes:
Councillor Julian Thompson-Hill presented a
report seeking approval to commence a procurement for a works contract with a
licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor.
The current arrangements to facilitate asbestos
removal in council properties via a collaborative framework was due to expire
in December 2020. To facilitate a more
flexible and streamlined approach a works contract was recommended involving an
agreement with one contractor and fixed rates ensuring better value for money
and a more tailored service. The works
contract would be set up for an initial 12 months with the opportunity to
extend annually to a maximum of 10 years and renewal would only occur if
satisfied with the contractor’s performance.
Details of the contact value had been set out in the report with a total
contract value up to £4m. To prevent any
delay in awarding the contract it was recommended the decision to commence the
procurement be implemented immediately.
Cabinet was satisfied that the recommended
procurement process supported the business needs of the council and delivered
value for money. It was noted that
permission to award the contract to the successful tenderer would be subject to
a further report to Cabinet in December.
RESOLVED that Cabinet –
(a) agree

Asbestos Removal Contractor to be advertised;

that the decision above be implemented immediately in order to prevent any delay in awarding the
contract, and
