Report of the Interim Director of Resources

Presented by the Corporate Portfolio Holder

The Corporate Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members.

He advised Members that the authority was looking to procure fire safety equipment servicing as a single contract from early November for a period of three years with the option to extend for two 12 month periods and If the contract was to run for five years, the estimated value for servicing alone was £90,000, and any further work identified and agreed to be done could push the overall value of the contract over £100,000. He reminded Members that contracts over £100,000 require Cabinet approval and that they were being asked to delegate authority to award the contract to the Interim Director of Resources in consultation with himself as Portfolio Holder.

It was moved by Councillor N J Rushton, seconded by Councillor R D Bayliss and

RESOLVED THAT:

Authority to award the contract for maintenance of fire safety systems be delegated to the Interim Director of Resources in consultation with the Corporate Portfolio Holder.

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