iii) Approves inviting bids under the Framework Agreement by way of a mini competition on the basis of the pre-tender considerations.

Reasons for the decision:
The Council has a statutory duty to maintain
schools. It requires a contractor to carry out the nursery block

appropriate means of procuring the contractor is through a mini
competition under the Pagabo Medium Works Framework Agreement, for
South East England, Lot 2. (the “Framework”).

Officers have reviewed a range of procurement
options including conducting a tender process but have concluded
that the use of the Framework is the most appropriate means of
procuring a contractor given the reduction in timescales, costs and
resources involved.
