Purpose:

This report recommends the award of the
Measured Term Contract (MTC) for Multi-Trade Works to Kirkman &
Jourdain Ltd for planned maintenance works to schools and corporate
buildings for a two-year period, with an option to extend for two
one-year periods at the Council’s discretion. The primary
purpose of this contract is to support the School’s Capital
Repairs Programme towards maintaining the estate, ensuring the
health and safety of all pupils and staff.

Decision Taken:

I, the Director of Capital Strategy & Portfolio
Management hereby approve the award of the MTC for Multi-Trade
Works to Kirkman & Jourdain Ltd, who provided the most
economical and competitive tender bid as detailed in the Evolve
Norse tender report Appendix 1 to the report (exempt). The overall
value of the contract will not exceed £4,000,000.

 

And I have instructed the
proper officer to publish this written record of my
decision.

Reason:

As set out in the
report.

Alternative Options Considered:

The Council could decide not to award the
contract; however, this could result in the Council not meeting its
statutory duty to maintain building infrastructure in schools,
which will ultimately result in potential risks to health and
safety and school closures.
