Decision details

The Cabinet received a report of the Executive Director of Place/Deputy Chief Executive which sought approval to establish new contracts to deliver and facilitate various Planned and Preventative Maintenance requirements. The previous framework (Construction and Highways Works and Services Framework) ended in October 2024.

A review of the delivery of the Construction and Highways Works & Services Framework had identified that new agreements should be established.

The proposal, detailed in the report was to establish a mix of new contracts that would be required to cover the Council’s Planned and Preventative Maintenance requirements. The Council needed to ensure that all procurement activity was compliant with Oldham Council Contract Procedure Rules and the Procurement Act 2023.

Options/Alternatives considered:

Option 1 - To approve the recommendations in the report thereby allowing Oldham Council’s Procurement team to establish new contracts to cover all Property related Planned and Preventative Maintenance. This will ensure that delivery complies with Oldham Council Contract Procedure Rules and the Procurement Act 2023, whilst also delivering the best value for money.

Option 2 – Not to approve the report, which was not considered to be viable, as, a consequence of this, would leave the Council in breach of Oldham Council Contract Procedure Rules, unless each scheme is individually quoted or tendered for, which is considered an inefficient procurement method, and would not provide best value.

Resolved:

That the Cabinet approves the report, thereby allowing Oldham Council’s Procurement team to establish new contracts to cover all Property related Planned and Preventative Maintenance.
