Minutes:
Councillor Muhammed Butt (as Leader of the Council) introduced a report seeking approval to invite a tender using a direct award procedure under the Network Homes Contractor Framework for the design and build contract in relation to the redevelopment at 1 Morland Gardens.
In considering the report, Cabinet were reminded that the scheme had been designed to provide a new education centre, council homes, affordable workspace as well as a café and public realm improvements. The report outlined a change which had needed to be made to the procurement arrangements following a “call-in” of the original contract award decision, which had resulted in the original Framework agreement expiring. Members noted that the call-in had been considered by Resources & Public Realm Scrutiny Committee on 9 June 2022 who had agreed to confirm the decision relating to the award of contract.
Having considered the report, Cabinet RESOLVED:
(1) To approve the inviting of a tender using a direct award process under the Network Homes Contractor Framework agreement on the basis of the pre-tender considerations set out in paragraph 3.6 of the report.
(2) To delegate authority to award the contract for the Morland Gardens Redevelopment Design and Build Contract following the successful outcome of the tender exercise to the Strategic Director, Regeneration and Environment, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Finance, Resources & Reform.
