An Exception to award and extension is being sought.   Options considered and rejected were – Salford is in the final year of a 4 year framework and requires additional time to ensure a compliant and fit fir purpose new framework is in place going forward. Alternative frameworks are available including the Bolton and Manchester Framework however, the availability of contractors who are already commissioned by other GM authorities cannot guarantee their commitment to deliver the scale of works required to be delivered during the extension period and the working relationships have not been established. Hence, this was the preferred procurement route. Work cannot be undertaken in-house as there are insufficient resources.   Assessment of Risk – by not having a contract in place Salford would not be able to deliver its financial commitments for 2025/26 and also 2026/27. The award of contract for a further 6months for the current framework is therefore essential in ensuring that Salford can continue to design and deliver a wide range of projects that will be funded from the capital and revenue programmes across the next 2 financial years.   The source of funding is a mixture of approved capital and revenue funding depending on the nature of work being undertaken.   Legal Advice obtained – The proposed award of the contract follows a call off exercise in accordance with the Council’s Technical and Highways Minor Civils Works Framework as referred to in the body of the report and legal supports the award.   Financial Advice obtained – Finance identifies the funding that is in place to deliver the likely projects to be undertaken. There remains sufficient headroom in the contract for projects to be commissioned by the council should it be needed.   Procurement Advice obtained -  Yes.   HR Advice obtained – N/A.   Climate Change Implications obtained – N/A.   Contact Officer: Sharon Walls Telephone number: 07598063732   The appropriate Scrutiny Committee to call-in the decision is the Growth and Prosperity Scrutiny Panel     Signed:    Paul Dennett      Dated:   8 December 2025.                    City Mayor   FOR DEMOCRATIC SERVICES USE ONLY:   *         This decision was published on 9 December 2025 *         This decision will come in force at 4.00 p.m. on 16 December 2025 unless it is called-in in accordance with the Decision Making Process Rules.
