To waive the request for waiver and award the
contract to SEL Clarke Ltd in respect of Seven Brethren car park
repairs.

Reasons for the decision

The proposed contract for the above will be
between £12,000 (inc VAT) and £120,000 (inc VAT).

With this RFW I include a copy of the specification or brief which
has been prepared for this contract and which details the goods,
services and/or works which will be provided.

Specification Attached (and provide a brief description of the
contract below):
Repairs to car park surface following damage by Fair in September
2025

Alternative options considered

In accordance with paragraph 12 of the
Council’s Contract Procedures Rules, quotations should be
obtained from more than one supplier using a request for quotation
(RFQ) and the quote evaluated as successful, in compliance with the
evaluation criteria in the RFQ, should be accepted. In the
alternative officers may consider running an open tender process in
accordance with paragraph 13 of the Contract Procedure Rules.

I can confirm that I have sought all relevant procurement advice
and consider that it is appropriate that this requirement be waived
for the following reason:

- It is not appropriate in the circumstances for quotes to be
obtained from more than one supplier
