Authority to Tender for the identification of External Wall Materials used on High-Rise Buildings - Building Consultants (Recordable Officer Decision)
Decision Maker: Strategic Director - Community Well-being
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
This decision seeks approval for the appointment of a building consultancy to complete a data collection exercise to identify external wall materials and insulation used on high rise residential buildings over 18 metres in height within the London Borough of Brent under Contract Standing Orders 88 & 89.
Decision:
To approve:
(1) Inviting tenders under a mini competition via the NHS SBS Construction Consultancy Services 2 Framework on the basis of the identified pre-tender considerations.
(2) Officers evaluating the tenders on the basis of the identified evaluation criteria.
Reasons for the decision:
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is requesting that Brent Council complete a data collection exercise to identify external wall materials and insulation on all high rise residential buildings over 18 metres. The Council is therefore seeking suppliers to submit a proposal for carrying out the requirement.
Alternative options considered:
The procurement options for this requirement were either an OJEU procurement or a mini-competition from a framework. Given the estimated value of the procurement and limited time available to procure a contract in order to commence in December 2019 it was considered that the NHS SBS Framework offered the most appropriate mechanism to procure.
