The Reasons are to enable the demolition of the former
depot to progress to the agreed programme and to the earliest
completion date.
 
Options considered and rejected
were: None. All procedures are
in accordance with normal standing orders.
 
Assessment of Risk:
Medium/ High
The demolition of the depot
buildings is an integral part of the overall development of
Buile Hill Mansion. The buildings
within the project demise have already been subject to vandalism
and arson attacks which put both the public and council at
risk.
 
The source of funding
is Property Capital
Programme.
 
Legal Advice
obtained: Supplied by The
Shared Legal Service:
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. The proposed award of
the contract follows a tender exercise by mini competition in
accordance with the Framework agreement for Demolition and
Associated Services.
 
The
Council will need to have followed the procedure set out in the
framework agreement for mini competition to ensure the procurement
process is compliant. Four tenders were received from framework
suppliers for this project, which have been evaluated on the most
economically advantageous tender basis in line with published
procedures resulting in the proposed award of the contract to
Connell Brothers Demolition Limited. The procurement procedures
therefore appear robust and compliant with the requirements of the
Council’s CSO’s and PCR.
 
Financial Advice
obtained: Supplied by
Daniel Hillman, Senior Accountant:
The current approved
budget provision for 23/24 for Buile
Hill Mansion is £2.2m.  All
additional funding requirements will be subject to future Capital
bidding rounds for 24/25 and 25/26. Expenditure code:
D09256.
 
Procurement Advice obtained: Supplied by Deborah Derbyshire,
Category Manager – Place:
The
project has been competitively tendered by means of a mini
competition under the Council’s own Demolition and Associated
Services Framework, which complies with the Councils Contractual
Standing Orders and the Procurement Contract
Regulations.
 
The
winning tenderer has submitted the most economically advantageous
offer in line with the rules of the framework and this supports the
innovate project ensuring the council is getting/receiving value
for money.
 
HR Advice obtained:
N/A
 
Climate Change Implications
obtained:
No
significant Climate Change implications in this project. All
projects are developed to meet or exceed current legislation and
requirements relating 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.
 
Sustainability plans would be
targeted to also align with opportunities to continue to deliver
social value outcomes.
