Central Records Relocation – Alarm System

Decision Maker: Director of Economy

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The report requests approval for an exemption to the Council’s contract procedure rules and appoint Stanley Security to supply a Sonitrol Intruder alarm system and all cabling and containment.
The Sonitrol Alarm system – software, equipment is owned by Stanley – and therefore is only available through Stanley. Sir Robert Peacock House systems are fully integrated with Sonitrol systems. Hence the case for this exemption is based on a proprietary reason.

Decision:

RESOLVED - That:
To approve an exemption to the contract procedure rules and appoint Stanley Security to supply a Sonitrol Intruder alarm system and all cabling and containment.

Reasons for the decision:

Option 1 - Appoint Stanley Security to supply a Sonitrol Intruder alarm system and all cabling and containment. Oldham Council’s preferred security alarm is the Sonitrol Alarm system. This is a proprietary, matter whereby Stanley Security is the only provider of this system.
Option 2 - To revert to obtaining quotations and tenders for all work packages to comply with the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules, which would be an inefficient, labour and time consuming process, given it is the only system that meet’s the Council’s requirements in this instance.

Alternative options considered:

Option 2 - To revert to obtaining quotations and tenders for all work packages to comply with the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules, which would be an inefficient, labour and time consuming process, given it is the only system that meet’s the Council’s requirements in this instance.
