Decision details

Arundel Street Muga

Decision Maker: Director of Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

This report is to request a procurement exemption for Arundel Street Park to apply a direct award to IAE for the supply of Striker Goal End and sides at a cost of £33,035.17. The reason for the direct award is due to the fact that there is a Strike Goal End already installed on the site (manufactured by the same supplier, IAE). This will ensure standardisation of equipment on the site.

Decision:

RESOLVED - That:
To Approve an exemption from the Contract Procedure Rules and approve direct award to IAE to mirror the equipment already have installed on site.

Reasons for the decision:

As detailed in the Purpose section

Option 1 - To Approve an exemption from the Contract Procedure Rules and approve direct award to IAE to mirror the equipment already have installed on site.

Option 2 - To go through the main RFQ process which would require quotes from suppliers who do not manufacture the items. Typically, manufacturer prices and timeframes are more efficient as you purchase direct from source. There is also the possibility that despite the specification identifying the items, differences in any supplier of the goods may result in slight differences with existing items which need to be connected, and therefore, cause potential H&S issues.
