Agreement sought to award to a single
contractor a whole house building safety contract to be managed
within Technical Services for GBC housing stock, who will carry out
multiple disciplinary works within individual properties to reduce
risk of prosecution and non compliance of statutory regulations. As
well as economies of scale to create savings. This is anticipated
to be a 3 + 1 + 1 contract (5 years total). To be awarded through a
framework via mini competition.
(This is a supplementary contract which will be awarded to an
already procured contractor, to support the additional costs which
were unforeseen but have now been identified during inspections and
surveys carried out since the original contract commenced, meaning
that contract will be significantly overspent. This expenditure
does not exceed internal budgets and have been previously agreed.
In addition, this expenditure will ensure that we meet our
statutory and legal requirements, and keep our properties within
decent home standards.)
