The report explained that a tender process had been carried out to establish a framework agreement for aids and adaptions works managed by Care & Repair. The majority of the works carried out under the proposed framework would be level access showers and external access ramps and hard-standings. Most of these works were grant funded.
The Procurement officer explained that to date none of the contractors had been eliminated from the proposals set out in the report, although there were a small number yet to complete.
Cabinet discussed the value of the Framework agreement which permitted a larger number of contractors which meant that the waiting times should reduce for the service, which was essential for the clientele involved.
RESOLVED: That the signing of framework agreements with the contractors named in this report, subject to completion of due diligence checks on these businesses be approved.
Reason for Decision
To ensure that the Council obtains best value for the grants that it administers for aids and adaptions work for elderly and vulnerable people and to ensure compliance with procurement regulations.
