Funding Source

Capital & Revenue Programmes

 
 

 
The Reasons are: to enable the Council to procure
building works on a competitive basis under a Minor Building Works
Framework Agreement.
 
Options considered and rejected
were: None – all
procedures are in accordance with normal Standing
Orders.
 
Assessment of Risk: Low
 
The source of funding
is: N/A – no direct
financial obligations.
 
Legal Advice
obtained: T
Hatton
The report sets out
the details for appointing bidders to the Council’s Minor
Works Framework Agreement Lots 1 and 2 which are due for renewal.
There are two category values (£0 - £350,000 and
£350,000 - £750,000) for which contractors require to
be appointed.
 
When commissioning
contracts for the procurement of goods, services, or the execution
of works, the Council must comply with the Public Contracts
Regulations 2015 (PCR) and its own Contractual Standing Orders
(CSO’s), failing which a contract may be subject to legal
challenge from an aggrieved provider.
 
The purpose of a
framework agreement is to select through a procurement/evaluation
process a number of providers who can meet the service requirements
of the Council, as and when those services are required. The work
undertaken thus far is explained throughout the report, and sets
out the issues and tender process involved, including the
evaluation of bids, to ensure compliance with PCR and
CSO’s.
 
A total of thirteen
tenders were received from framework suppliers across the two value
lots which have been evaluated in accordance with the procurement
procedures and selection criteria set out in the tender documents
resulting in the proposed appointment to the frameworks of the
contractors listed in the report under Lots 1 and 2.
 
The award procedures
therefore appear robust and complaint with the requirements of
public procurement legislation and the Council’s
CSO’s.
 
Legal Services will
assist with preparing any contractual documentation upon receipt of
instructions to ensure the Council’s position and interests
are protected.
 
Financial Advice
obtained: Grace Rogerson
– Senior Accountant – 03/11/23
The report sets out
the details for appointing bidders to the Council’s Minor
Works Framework Agreements which are due for renewal.
 
A framework agreement
is an overarching agreement setting out terms and conditions for
subsequent award of contract, but places no obligations on the
Council to purchase any goods, services or works.
 
So there are no direct
financial implications for the Council from the awarding of places
on the framework.  However, it will
provide clear guidance to officers procuring these types of works
and ensure that best value is achieved in support of the innovate
programme.

The costs of any works carried out under the frameworks will be
funded from within available resources included within the Councils
approved capital and revenue programmes.
 
Procurement Advice obtained: Deborah Derbyshire x
6244
The opportunity was
advertised in the FTS replacement for the European Journal,
Contracts Finder and the Northwest Portal as an open competition
inviting interested companies to submit a bid for one or both
lots.
 
The proposal will
allow us to provide clear guidance to Council Officers regarding
any procurement of capital and revenue funded building projects via
the two encompassing Minor Building Works Framework Agreements
either by direct award for work below £75,000 for Lot 1 only
for emergency/essential work and mini competitions for both lots
around work valued above £75,000 to
£750,000.  This will ensure that
the council is receiving best value for money in support of the
innovate programme and that all such procurement activities are
complaint, therefore this complies with Contractual Standing Orders
and the Procurement Contract Regulations.
 
HR Advice obtained:
N/A
 
Climate Change Implications
obtained:
No significant Climate Change
implications for the formation of the framework as this will be
considered under each separate tender process. All projects are
developed to meet or exceed current legislation and requirements
relating to energy efficiency and carbon reduction
targets.  Projects are required to
support the Council’s objectives of becoming carbon neutral
by 2038.
