In
addition, this report sets out a request to approve a waiver of

Waiver of Procurement Rules to make a direct award for highway
defect repairs as an interim measure until the procurement exercise
in relation to the Spray Injection Jet Patching and Heated In-Situ
Road Repairs has been completed.
 
At
the conclusion of the procurement process, any award of contract
will be made under Section 9.52 (36) of the county council's Scheme
of Delegation to Officers.
 
This
report also sets out necessary amendments to procurement processes
already approved by Cabinet to proceed but are impacted following
the 12 September 2024 Cabinet Office announcement that the
commencement of the Procurement Act 2023 will be delayed until 24
February 2025.
 
This is deemed to
be a Key Decision and the requirements of the council's Cabinet
procedure rules (Standing Order C18, Consideration of Key
Decisions) have been complied with.
 
In respect of
exercise (iii) above, compliance with Standing Order C18,
Consideration of Key Decisions, was not possible as the original
proposals, subsequently amended, were not deemed to be Key at the
time of publication of the Statutory Notice of Forthcoming
Executive Key Decisions taken under the provision of Standing Order
C18.
