Issue - meetings

Councillor John Noeken, Cabinet Member for Resources presented a report which sought approval for the appointment of two building term maintenance contractors and approval for a reserve choice if needed. 

The Council was responsible for maintaining over nine hundred premises throughout the County.  They comprise many different types of building and need to be maintained in order for the Council to meet its statutory duties and to ensure Council services can continue to be delivered. 

In order to provide reactive maintenance for emergency repairs and minor repairs, a Term Maintenance Contract was required with contractors who could respond to maintenance and emergency issues within an appropriate response time. 

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet delegate authority to the Corporate Director, Resources to award the contracts for the Building Term Maintenance Contract as follows, following the satisfactory conclusion of the requisite “standstill” period (10 days)

i)              Steele Davis (Swindon) Ltd for the East, West and South geographical lots; and

ii)            Wilkins Builders Ltd for the North geographical lot.

Reason for Decision

To put in place means to maintain the Council’s premises following the expiry of the existing contracts.
