Purpose

To commission a contract for the service and
maintenance of automatic doors and roller shutter doors to the
Council.

Content

Approve the commission of a contract for the
service and maintenance of automatic doors and roller shutters for
a period of up to 4 years with a value of £830,000.

Reasons for the decision

The decision will ensure the Council will
continue to have access to specialist third party contractors to
service and maintain automatic doors and roller shutters. The
procurement of the contract will ensure the Council is operating in
accordance with the Procurement Act 2023.
 

Alternative options considered

 

Do nothing and allow
the current contract to expire.

 
This option was discounted
because the Council has an ongoing requirement for the service,
maintenance and repair of automatic doors and roller shutters
across its estate and public procurement regulations dictate that
we procure a compliant contract for the delivery of these
services

 

 

Self-deliver

 
This is not viable because the Council has
neither the capacity nor necessary technical competencies to
service and maintain the equipment to the required standard.

 

 

 

Further extend existing
contract

 
This is not an option as all available
contract extensions have been utilised. As ever, Council must
adhere to the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (PCR) thus further
variations (value and duration) are not deemed easily reconcilable
with the provisions set out within PCR.
