RESOLVED - That:
To extend the term of each Domestic Property Disability Adaptations
Framework Agreement by 1 year, as permitted by the terms and conditions of each Framework Agreement, to allow the continued provision of level access showers and shower over baths.
This will allow the continued provision of level access showers and shower over baths.
The quality of the workmanship from the existing four contractors on the framework has been satisfactory and a good working relationship has been developed between the Equipment and Adaptations Team and the contractors.
There is insufficient time to re-tender the opportunity prior to the expiry of the initial term but, in any event, to do so at this stage would be very disruptive to the continuity of work.
It is particularly important to have continuity of this work to enable the Council to meet its statutory duty to assess and award DFG applications in line with legal timeframes.
The Framework Agreements, which the Council has put in place, allow for the works required to meet each applicant’s relevant needs are carried out and completed to a high standard and in a timely manner
