Decision:
That the Director of Property and Assets:
i) Approves the award of a contract for the emergency lighting works at Chalkhill Primary School and electrical works at Mora Primary School for a period of eight weeks for the sum of £322,439.66 to Raytell Electrical Co Ltd.
Reasons for the decision:
The Council
requires the provision of emergency lighting works at Chalkhill Primary School and electrical works at
Mora Primary School as part of the School Asset Management
Programme. The Council has a duty to undertake major projects at
Community Schools, where it is the responsible body, to ensure the
buildings are weather tight and provide a safe environment for
education.
Alternative options considered:
Alternatives to the approach for the
procurement and appointment of the contractors have been
considered. The specific work packages for each school site could
have been tendered individually. This option was discounted as it
would not offer economies of scale that are expected by grouping
the works together.
Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:
None.
Cabinet/Committee Decision or Scheme of Delegation: Officer scheme of delegation

Ward members will be kept up to date with project progress such as works starting on site.
