Content

RESOLVED - That:
To extend the term of each Domestic Property Disability
Adaptations
Framework Agreement by 1 year, as permitted by the terms and
conditions of each Framework Agreement, to allow the continued
provision of level access showers and shower over baths.
This will allow the continued provision of level access showers and
shower over baths.
The quality of the workmanship from the existing four contractors
on the framework has been satisfactory and a good working
relationship has been developed between the Equipment and
Adaptations Team and the contractors.
There is insufficient time to re-tender the opportunity prior to
the expiry of the initial term but, in any event, to do so at this
stage would be very disruptive to the continuity of work.
It is particularly important to have continuity of this work to
enable the Council to meet its statutory duty to assess and award
DFG applications in line with legal timeframes.
The Framework Agreements, which the Council has put in place, allow
for the works required to meet each applicant’s relevant
needs are carried out and completed to a high standard and in a
timely manner
