Decision

RESOLVED
that a works contract is awarded to CWG Group Ltd.
(company registration number 06688404) in the sum of £437,266
for the delivery of works to replace the Harlow Museum roof
coverings.

Reasons for the decision

To support the delivery of the Council’s corporate
mission to ‘Transform our Council’ and
“Successfully deliver the largest ever Non-Housing Capital
Programme”.
 
To enable the Council to enter a formal contract for
roofing works at Harlow Museum in accordance with Contract Standing
Orders.
 
To ensure that essential works to replace the museum roof
are delivered to protect the building and the artifacts contained
therein, and to support the ongoing operation of the museum
service.

Alternative options considered

The option of proceeding by way
of patch repairs has been considered, but that approach isn’t
considered viable given the age and condition of the existing roof
coverings.
