Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report of the Strategic Director of Commisisoing which sought approval to award a Concession Contract to Procure Partnerships Limited following a fully compliant procurement process that would enable them to commence working with the Council to procure a Construction Works Framework, sought to delegate authority to the Director of Economy in consultation with the Director of Finance and Director of Legal Services to award the planned Framework on behalf of the Council, and authorise the Director of Legal Services to sign the contractual documentation and any incidental and ancillary documentation to enable the required deadlines to be achieved.

The request to award the five year Concession Contract to Procure Partnerships Limited (the “Concessionaire”) following a fully compliant procurement process was to enable the Council and the Concessionaire to commence working together to procure a Construction Works Framework which will facilitate the award of contracts from the Council’s own projected pipeline of works requirements. By virtue of procuring the Framework in a manner which enabled it to also be used by other Public Sector Bodies, the planned Framework was also expected to generate a monetary income for the Council and the Concessionaire which will contribute to the Council’s challenging savings targets.

Option 1 – To approve the award

Option 2 – Not to approve the award

RESOLVED – That the Cabinet would consider the commercially sensitive information at Item 15 of the agenda before making a decision.
