Reasons for the decision

The Council requires the provision of LED
lights. It has been determined that the most appropriate means of
providing the LED lights is through the procurement of a contract
for Brent Civic Centre LED Phase 2 by way of a mini-competition
under Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Works and Services, also
known as the Supporting Decarbonisation Measures DPS.

Alternative options considered

Officers considered whether the Brent Civic
Centre LED Phase 2 could be provided by the Council itself but
concluded that it is best provided by a contractor.
 
Officers reviewed a range of procurement
options including conducting tender process but have concluded that
the use of the DPS Agreement is the most appropriate means of
procuring a contractor given the reduction in timescales, costs and
resources involved.
