To seek approval to appoint S I Sealy &
Associates Limited to provide Mechanical & Electrical (M&E)
design services and tender documentation via the direct award
process for the purpose of seeking
tenders for the refurbishment of the Marlborough
Street Community Centre.
Requirement to refurbish and undertake necessary
M&E alterations to the Marlborough Street
Community Centre to ensure this community space is
available for use by the local community as quickly as
possible.
Oldham Borough Council, Property Section have
worked in partnership with SI Sealy previously on
schemes, which have been delivered to the standard
and quality expected from Oldham Council. It is for
this known entity and requirement to expedite
production of tender documentation to progress the
works that this appointment is being recommended.
RESOLVED - That:
To directly award the M&E Design Services to S I Sealy. They
have provided a written submission confirming they can meet
the
requirements of the Council in accordance with the terms and
conditions in the compliant Framework Agreement (Rise) for
£27,000.00.
Due to the Council’s previous knowledge and experience of
working with S I Sealy, together with confirmation that they are
already on a Framework,
makes a direct award the preferred option as the procurement
process can be achieved quickly meeting the Councils requirement to
progress the
scheme.
Option 1 - to directly award the M&E
Design Services to S I Sealy. They have provided a written
submission confirming they can meet the requirements of the Council
in accordance with the terms and conditions in the compliant
Framework Agreement (Rise) for £27,000.00.
Option 2 - to seek alternative M&E consultants from similar
Frameworks to submit a quotation. This would increase the duration
to procure the M&E consultant delaying progress on the scheme
and uncertainty on a consultant’s ability to deliver within
the required timescale.
Option 3 - is to procure a consultant through an open tender
process. This would be the longest procurement option. Due to this
reason and the
uncertainty on consultant’s ability to deliver within the
required timescale; this is not an option.
Option 4 - is to deliver the scheme utilising in-house staff. Due
to lack of resource and capacity currently, this is not a viable
option.
