Decision

Milestone South East Ltd (Milestone) was
awarded a contract in June 2024 to deliver reactive disrepair and
compliance services to Council-owned housing stock. The original
agreement allowed for a notional ceiling of £2.25 million
over three years (including extensions).
Due to increased volume and complexity of
works arising from the Council’s participation in the
Warmer Homes Wave 3 (WHW3) programme and enhanced
enforcement of damp and mould risks following the Awaab Ishak case,
there is now a need to authorise:
·       
An uplift in contract value within the 50% threshold permitted
under Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations
2015;
·       
A broader scope of eligible services to include reactive roofing
and associated structural works, PV system installations, and
enabling works linked to disrepair or HHSRS hazards.
All additional services remain within the
Fusion21 Lot 4 framework and the JCT MTC 2016 contract form.
