Having considered the comments
of the Landlord Services Advisory Board (Executive Working Group),
the Executive Co-Portfolio Holder for Housing, Cllr Paul
Rivers,
 
RESOLVED to,
 

Recommendation
 

1. 
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.

Reason(s) for Recommendation:
 
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.
