Reasons for the decision
The decision was taken due to the worsening
condition of the Council’s assets relevant to this contract
and the lack of performance by the appointed contractor since
January 2025. This left the Council without means to undertake
these works which are becoming more critical as time passes. This
contract was created in order to carryout essential backlog works
before the procurement of a future framework to enable essential
works going forward from April 2026.
Alternative options considered
The decision meets the statutory and Health
and Safety requirements for the Council and there were no
alternative options available.
