Purpose

to award a one year contract for domestic gas
servicing and associated remedial work from Fusion 21
Framework

Content

Decision:
Authorise the entering into of a new contract
with K&T Heating Services Limited under Fusion 21 Framework
(Fusion21 Heating, Renewables, and Electrical Framework- Lot 1
Domestic Heating [Combustibles]) for the servicing of domestic
boilers with a financial cap of £1.3 million pounds for a
term of 1 year.
Reason(s):

1.      
The Council is preparing a tender for a longer-term
contract which is envisaged to be awarded in 12 months period. It
is imperative that whilst the council is preparing for a long-term
contract, the regulatory service of Domestic Boiler Servicing is
provided continuously. Any new contractor will need a 3-month
mobilisation period and considering that new long-term contract
will be ready for execution in 12 months’ time, continuity of
the incumbent supplier becomes imperative. 

2.      
Additionally, the costs for demobilisation of
current contractor and cost of system integration and mobilisation
of new contract for a short period would outweigh any benefit from
bringing in any potential new supplier.

3.      
Value for money is demonstrated by continuity of the
service noting that we have continuity of service, and K&T are
the no.1 ranked supplier on the Fusion 21 framework. There is an
approximate saving of 10% on existing fees by using this
framework.
Other options considered and rejected by the
Executive:
None.
Details of any conflict of interest declared by
the Leader or lead councillors and any dispensation
granted:
None.
