Decision details

Cabinet considered a report on the tender process 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 Chair explained that as due diligence on some of the tenderers was still to be carried out he was proposing to defer a decision on this item, and that a special Cabinet would be called to take such a decision as soon as this work was complete.

The Corporate Performance Panel had supported the recommendations in the report.

RESOLVED:            That the signing of framework agreements with the contractors be deferred pending the completion of the due diligence work being carried out, and a special Cabinet be held to consider the report once all the work is complete.

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 and to ensure all due diligence work is completed.
