Purpose

Ipswich Borough Council is currently
redeveloping Eastern Gateway, part of the next phase includes
delivery of the second pumping station (which will service eastern
plots).
 
The section 104 technical approval has been
granted. The approval process requires Anglian Water to attend to
inspect and supervise during the construction/completion ensuring
it is built to adoptable
standards.
 
The Anglian Water fee for this service is
£19,333.23 (NSA-0137806). The appointment will be funded from
existing capital budgets.

Decision

To exempt this appointment from the market
testing requirement of Contract Standing Orders under paragraph
3.10.2 and award the contract to Anglian Water, as the only
available supplier.
 
Reason:
Anglian Water is the only water company that
operates in the East of England that provides
water supplies/ sewerage/ sewage treatment
which would need to operate this pumping station.
