Purpose

The report sought approval for the acceptance
of the most economically advantageous tender submission in relation
to the roof glazing repairs at Spindles Shopping Centre and to
enter into contract with the successful tenderer.

Content

RESOLVED - That:

1. Approve the budget required for the tendered works.
2. Accept the most economically advantageous tender received in
respect of the tendered amount of £80,369.44 from NSS
3. Approve the appointment of NSS and authorise the finalisation of
the published form of contract so that the Council can enter into a
Contract with NSS for the tendered works.
4. Delegate authority to the Borough Solicitor to carry out all
necessary legal formalities.

Reasons for the decision

Option 1 – acceptance of the tender
submitted by NSS along with their appointment under the published
form of contract.
Option 2 is do nothing / defer the works. This is not considered a
viable option as this will ensure that roof leaks will continue to
occur through the glazing systems and cause disruption and damage
to the shopping centre and offices below.

Alternative options considered

Options 1 and 2.
