Decision details

To consider the tenders received and award of contract for the upgrade of the emergency lighting and associated removal of asbestos containing materials at two Council owned sheltered housing sites.

On the 2 December 2013 the Executive Member for Health and Housing considered a report and awarded the works. The successful contractor then withdrew their offer after failing to comply with the Terms and Conditions of Contract during the pre-contract stage.  This report is provided for the Executive as the value of the award now exceeds that for an Executive Member individual decision and provides a recommendation based on the original tenders received. The project is to upgrade existing emergency and external lighting systems including removal of asbestos at two Council owned sheltered housing sites.  The need for this work was identified by a recent fire risk assessment.

That the tender submitted by the contractor which achieved the highest overall score, as detailed in the appended evaluation matrix, be accepted and a contract awarded to this company.
