RESOLVED – that

1)    the contract for Quantity Surveying and Project Management Services be awarded to CJ Consillium Ltd.

2)    progress on the contract be reported through the Housing Stock Group as part of Safe & Warm Projects.

Executive considered the report of Portfolio Holder – Housing which sought approval for the awarding of a contract for Quantity Surveying and Project Management for Safe & Warm upgrades to Jubilee Court and Valley View.

The Safe & Warm upgrade works included renewing a communal heating system, conversion of bathing facilities to wet rooms, conversion of some bedsit flats to a 1-bedroom layout, improvements to fire protection including an entire new sprinkler system, and an extension at one location.

Seventeen Quantity Surveying practices had submitted valid bids and they had all been evaluated.  It was recommended that the contract be awarded to CJ Consillium Ltd.

Moved by Councillor Sandra Peake and seconded by Councillor Mary Dooley

RESOLVED – that

1)    the contract for Quantity Surveying and Project Management Services be awarded to CJ Consillium Ltd.

2)    progress on the contract be reported through the Housing Stock Group as part of Safe & Warm Projects.

REASON FOR DECISION:

To award a contract for Quantity Surveying and Project Management for the Safe & Warm upgrade works to Jubilee Court and Valley View.

OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED:

This contract could have been awarded using an existing framework.  This was rejected due to the current national situation and it was deemed that the Council would benefit from more competitive tenders, both in terms of numbers applying and fee levels.
