The Head of Housing Development approves awarding a contract to
Silver DCC for CoW services for the scheme known as Grasmere Court
for the value of £17,175.15 plus VAT in accordance with CSOs
11.01 and 11.02.

This appointment covers the role of Clerk of Works services at
Grasmere Court, ensuring quality assurance, compliance with
specifications, and oversight of construction standards throughout
the project lifecycle.

Reasons for the decision

The Grasmere Court scheme achieved planning
permission in October 2024 for the delivery of 3 self-contained
flats, erection of separate bulk bin/recycle store for Grasmere
Court site, and associated landscaping.

This appointment supports the delivery of this scheme.

Alternative options considered

The Council could opt not to appoint this
consultant; however, this decision would adversely affect and
hinder the delivery of new council homes. This appointment is an
essential requirement.
