Purpose

This report seeks approval for the dissolution
of the existing Housing major capital works framework arrangement
for Lot 2, works over £300,000, due to our being unable to
secure sufficient tenders from the contractors currently on the
framework. The report recommends replacement of this element of the
framework with the procurement of a compliant alternative framework
and /or formation of a suitable list of approved contractors for
each project to ensure that we receive sufficient tender bids for
assurance of value for money and cost comparison.

2.2     
That Committee grants delegated authority to the Executive Director
Housing, Neighbourhoods & Communities to procure and award

appropriate.
