Decision

The decision has been made to award the
contract as outlined in the confidential report.

Reasons for the decision

The recommendation is to award the legal work
as per the confidential report based on them offering the most
competitive price.

The costs can be recovered from the tenant in any event, but could
be challenged if the costs are not deemed reasonable therefore the
recommendation is to go with the cheapest quote.

Alternative options considered

Three firms were approached to submit fee bids
to be assessed on price.
