Minutes:
Councillor McLennan, Deputy Leader of the Council, stated that the report concerns the future provision of the Council’s Insurance Services contracts. She informed Cabinet that the report requests approval to invite tenders in respect of the proposed Insurance Services contracts to start 1 October 2018, as required by Contract Standing orders 88 and 89.
Councillor McLennan stated that the report also seeks authority to extend the contracts that form the current programme of insurance. This is to allow for time to tender a new insurance programme, including the insurable risks formerly covered under separate arrangements made by the Brent Housing Partnership (BHP).
The insurable risks of the formerly outsourced housing services under BHP are to form part of this procurement as the service is scheduled to be brought back under the Council’s control.
RESOLVED that:
14.1 The Strategic Director of Resources be delegated authority to invite expressions of interest, invite tenders in respect of the Council’s Insurance Services contracts, and evaluate them in accordance with the approved evaluation criteria in 3.6 following the procurement process; and
14.2 The extension of the current insurance services contracts for a period of twelve months: From 1 October 2017 to 30 September 2018, be approved.
