Summary of Decision

The Cabinet Member for Finance and Council Reform has approved the award to Logan Construction (South East) Ltd (Companies House registration no. 03167858) to deliver capital minor works projects within the Corporate Property estate.  The Contract will be for 3 years with the option to extend an additional 2 years by annual increments.  The total contract value for the proposed contract period is estimated to be £35m excluding of VAT (£42m including VAT) including the potential extension period.

Reasons for Decision

The requirement is to cover all Capital Minor works projects to buildings managed by Corporate Property, which will include maintenance, refurbishment, alterations and extensions.  The need for the work is identified in a variety of ways, including stock condition surveys, compliance inspections, service requirements, strategic requirements.  The work includes minor works identified but not classed as emergency/urgent.

Works will be completed on the Council’s corporate estate of approximately 100 buildings including Libraries, Leisure Centres, Schools, Offices, Public Buildings, Cemeteries, or similar, as well as some of the Council’s investment estate including housing (which would be ancillary to the main building use) and retail.

Works will be varied in nature and value anticipated to range from £10,000 to £2,000,000 per project, with multiple sites running concurrently.  Works will vary in urgency with some planned works and some more reactive in nature due to defects affecting the operation of the building requiring quick action.
