Decision

Having considered the comments of the Landlord Services Advisory Board (Executive Working Group), the Executive Co-Portfolio Holder for Housing, Cllr Paul Rivers,

RESOLVED to,

Recommendation

1. That the Executive Co Portfolio Holder for Housing after consulting with the Executive Head of Housing approved the awarding of the Senior Living Fire Alarm Upgrade Contract, following a competitive tender.

Reason(s) for Recommendation:

1. Waverley Borough Council has statutory requirements to ensure it meets fire safety obligations
2. Failure to upgrade systems before the existing become obsolete, puts the Council at risk of systems failing and replacement parts not being available. An urgent awarding of works following failure of a system would not provide best value for money.
