Matter for Decision: |
·
For Cambridge City Council (CCC) to join
Eastern Procurement(EP) as a full Member which will enable immediate access
to a range of regionally procured, EU compliant framework contracts and cost
benchmarking data specifically relevant to Social Housing Maintenance and
Repair works. Membership of the EP consortia requires
completion of a contractual Deed of Association between CCC and EP. This has
to be completed under seal and Legal Services advise that this requires
Executive Councillor approval to proceed. |
||||||||
Why the decision had to be made (and any alternative
options):
|
This is an urgent decision to enable early
completion of the Deed and therefore ensure that CCC can pro-actively
influence the current drafting by EP of service specifications for an
imminent Gas Servicing and Maintenance tendering project. CCC and South Cambs DC (SCDC) operate existing Gas Servicing
arrangements with Mears plc but this contract expires in mid-2016 and both
authorities would seek to benefit from the EP proposal in procuring a
replacement service. SCDC are already members of EP. |
||||||||
The Executive Councillor’s decision(s): |
To approve the membership of EP and therefore to authorise completion
of the required EP Deed of Association. |
||||||||
Reasons for the decision: |
As outlined
above |
||||||||

Report: |

The Chair and Opposition Spokes were consulted prior to the action
being authorised. No
conflicts of interest were declared by the Executive Councillor. This urgent decision will be reported back to the next Housing
Scrutiny Committee on 30 June 2015 |
