Purpose

To agree procurement.

Content

That the Executive Co Portfolio Holder for
Housing after consulting with the Executive Head of Housing
approved the awarding of the Senior Living Fire Alarm Upgrade
Contract, following a competitive tender.

Reasons for the decision

1.         Waverley
Borough Council has statutory requirements to ensure it meets fire
safety obligations
 
2.         Failure
to upgrade systems before the existing become obsolete, puts the
Council at risk of systems failing and replacement parts not being
available. An urgent awarding of works following failure of a
system would not provide best value for money.
