To award a contract to C & E Consultancy Ltd for in-Situ
Interim Project Manager Resource, Major Projects Delivery Team up
to the value of £146,250.00 as allowed under contract
standing order (CSO) 9.07.01c.

Reasons for the decision

The Major Projects Delivery Team provide the Council with
construction related project management expertise across a variety
of education, corporate and public building projects.

The Councils review of capital investments both those commissioned
in in pipeline is ongoing. Whilst this review take places our
permanent recruitment drive into the Major Projects Delivery Team
is paused creating a greater level of flexibility needed to support
current work-load demands.

Alternative options considered

Do Nothing – An inability to secure competent project
delivery resource will result in failure to meet our obligation to
support delivery of business needs and the Councils Corporate
Priorities.

Procuring via Matrix has not proved successful. The calibre of
candidates available is likely reflective of the current climate
and work demand across this sector.

This procurement was undertaken on a competitive basis via the
Councils Dynamic Purchasing System.
