That the Director of Property and Assets:

Alternative options considered:
Officers considered whether the Brent Civic Centre LED Phase 2 could be provided by the Council itself but concluded that it is best provided by a contractor.
Officers reviewed a range of procurement options including conducting tender process but have concluded that the use of the DPS Agreement is the most appropriate means of procuring a contractor given the reduction in timescales, costs and resources involved.
