Legal Advice obtained: Tony Hatton, Solicitor

When commissioning contracts for the procurement of goods, services, or the execution of works, the Council must comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) and its own Contractual Standing Orders (CSO’s), failing which a contract may be subject to legal challenge from an aggrieved provider. CSO’s stipulate that where a suitable framework agreement exists, this must be used unless there is an auditable reason not to. The proposed award of the contract follows a tender exercise by mini competition in accordance with the Technical and Highways Works Framework

The Council will need to have followed the procedure set out in the framework agreement for mini competition to ensure that the procurement process is compliant. Two companies from the framework suppliers submitted a tender, and the bid has been evaluated on the most economically advantageous tender basis in line with published procedure resulting in the proposed award of the contract to Rosgal Ltd. The procurement procedures therefore appear robust and complaint with the requirements of the Council’s CSO’s and PCR.

Financial Advice obtained: Daniel Hillman, Senior Accountant, 11.07.2025.

The Procurement Board report, requests approval to award the contract for the electrical infrastructure upgrade at Turnpike Depot to Rosgal Ltd. Following a successful tender process which was completed by mini competition under the Technical and Highways Works Framework.

The total project cost of £0.355m is a contract cost of £0.312m plus surveys, professional fees and associated costs of £0.043m. The scheme is recognised in the Place, Property Capital programme for 2025/26. and will be funded from general unsupported borrowing.

Procurement Advice obtained: Heather Stanton, Category Manager

The project has been procured by the use of SCC Technical and Highways Works Framework inviting all companies under this Lot by means of mini competition.  This is a complaint route to market that conforms with Public Contract Regulations 2015 and the Council’s Contractual Standing Orders.

HR Advice obtained: N/A

Climate Change Implications obtained: Building Surveying & Facilities Management Team

No significant Climate Change implications in this project.  All projects are developed to meet or exceed current legislation and requirements to energy efficiency and carbon reduction targets. Projects are required to support the Council’s objectives of becoming carbon neutral by 2038.

The works will be programmed to minimise the traffic impact in the area. Any waste materials will be removed and taken to a transfer station for systematic sorting and recycling to ensure minimal landfill waste.
