Received a report seeking approval for the award of the two Construction Related Framework Agreements relating to Civil Engineering work and Education and other Public Buildings.
Agreed, in order to improve the Council’s contractual performance, as well as provide a fast response to project needs, to:
1. Note the progress made in relation to this project to date and the current programme dates as set out in Sections 3 and 4 of the report;
2. The appointment of the Construction Framework suppliers for the Education and Other Agreement and the Civil Engineering and Highways Agreement from July 2007 to June 2011, in order that the proposed Construction Framework Agreements can be implemented as set out in Section 5 of the report; and
3. Authorise the Corporate Directors of Customer Services and Regeneration to make a decision at a later date regarding the appointment of the suppliers for the Housing Framework Agreement for a period of up to four years with the last contract being awarded under the framework prior to June 2011. (The delegated authority can only be exercised in favour of the parties cited in this report and if no issues arise out of the consultation process which require Executive review or approval under the Housing Act).
