Decision Maker: Executive Director for Sustainable City
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To build and complete a flood alleviation
project in the East of Oxford which will reduce the flood risk to
110 properties.
Project approval was granted at CEB on 12/11/15.
Decision:
To appoint Oxford City Council’s Direct
Services to provide Construction Services for the Northway and
Marston Flood Alleviation Scheme.
Alternative options considered:
Following OCC Procurement Rules and as the
works above £100k, an external QS was commissioned to price
the work specification as well as Direct Services. The two prices
were compared. Direct Services price was within +/- 10% and thus
was awarded the commission at this fixed price.
If the Direct Services price was beyond the +/- 10% limit then the
work would have been subjected to an external tender process and
benchmarked against the Direct Services price.
