Received a report from the Cabinet Member for Finance, Revenues and Benefits on the renewal of the Council’s current Construction Related Framework Agreements, which are due to expire in August 2011.
Officers have also been working alongside East London Solutions (ELS), the London Borough of Haringey and other councils across London to develop a model for collaboration in the procurement and management of these Frameworks. It is proposed that this Council will take the lead in East London and the London Borough of Haringey will do the same for North-east London that will allow sharing of good practice, market intelligence and efficiencies.
Agreed, in order procure value for money services, to:-
(i) The procurement of the Construction Related Framework Agreements as detailed in the report;
(ii) This Council collaborating with East London Solutions (ELS) and Capital Ambition in order to secure additional funding for this project; and
(iii) This Council leading on a collaborative procurement approach with other London boroughs, in order to procure a construction framework agreement that can be used by all.
