Decisions:

The City Surveyor presented the report to advise Members of a proposal for temporary welfare facilities at the Belle Isle Depot to ensure that the Council complied with its responsibilities as an employer under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. 

 

In accordance with paragraph C1.31 of the Council’s constitution, this report requested an exemption to the requirement in the Council’s Contract Regulations that all contracts with an estimated value over £75,000 must be awarded following a formal tendering process. 

 

Members were advised that three quotes were being obtained to ensure best value for money. 

 

Members supported the proposed way forward.

 

RESOLVED that:-

 

(1)     an exemption be made from the requirement under the Council’s Contract Regulations to follow a tender exercise for the installation hire/purchase and removal of welfare facilities at Belle Isle Depot; and

 

RECOMMENDED that Council approve:-

 

(2)     an additional one off sum of £50,000 for installation and an ongoing revenue sum of £84,000 per year to cover rental of the temporary buildings to be added to the Public and Green Spaces Budget. This funding would remain until a permanent solution was found.
