Content

Resolved:

 

That the Part I report be noted and that further discussion and
decision would be taken under Part II of the agenda with the press
and public excluded.

 

Reason for Decision:

 
1.   
It is necessary for the Council to award a term traffic signals
maintenance contract, or to make alternative arrangements, because
of the legal responsibilities and the importance of the highway
service to the Council and the communities in Wiltshire. There
are significant safety, legal,
reputational and financial risks associated with not having a
suitable contractor for the highways service.
 
2.   
The tenders submitted for the new contract have been assessed in
terms of price and quality in accordance with the agreed procedure,
and the most suitable tenderer has been identified.
 
3.   
A robust procurement process has been undertaken to ensure
appropriate arrangements are made for the continuing provision of
the highway service.
 
4.   
The result of the assessment to identify a preferred bidder is
described in the Part 2 report to be considered at this meeting.
The most advantageous tender for the Council, taking into account quality and price, has been
identified in accordance with the procurement procedures.
