The Council requires a contractor to undertake refurbishment works to upgrade WCs on the ground floor of Brent Civic Centre. It has been determined that the most appropriate means of providing the works in through the procurement of a contractor by way of a tender process.

Officers have considered whether the refurbishment works could be provided by the Council itself but have concluded that the works are best provided by a contractor. Officers reviwed a range of procuement options including the use of frameworks but consider that a tender process is the most appropriate means of provuring a contractor as the value of the works is small and Brent would want to promote more local suppliers via open tendering process.
