Report of the Strategic Director of Housing and Customer Services

Presented by the Housing, Property and Customer Services Portfolio Holder

Councillor R Bayliss presented the report, which sought Cabinet approval for the procurement of asbestos surveys and removal contractor services for the next four years. This was a specialised area where the Council needed to appoint contractors for which several quotations had been received, the details of which were set out in the appendix to the report.

It was moved by Councillor R Bayliss, seconded by Councillor R Ashman and

RESOLVED THAT:

Cabinet approves the procurement of an asbestos surveys contractor and an asbestos removal contractor to the two companies referred to in 2.3 as a direct award. Both contracts are for 4-year periods in support of housing operations subject to Council approval of funding in February 2021.

Reason for decision: The level of expenditure on the proposed contract exceeds the authority level in the Scheme of Delegation.
