Cabinet, at its meeting on 09 December 2020, delegated authority to Executive Director of Housing, after consultation with the Monitoring Officer and the s151 Officer, to award the Lift Maintenance and Repair Services contract to the successful supplier(s) following completion of a tender process undertaken in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

To award a contract to Cotswold Lifts for the provision of lift maintenance and repair following a competitive tender exercise.

Cotswold Lifts was assessed as being the most economically advantageous supplier based on cost and quality following a procurement process undertaken in line with the Council’s Constitution and Public Procurement Regulations.

The Council must maintain its lifts in a serviceable condition and so a contract award was necessary. The Council could have used an existing framework rather than tendering.  However, the use of a Council-run open tender using the procurement portal made the process available to wider pool of suppliers including local companies.

Decision taken by Stephen Gabriel, Executive Director – Communities and People.

Decision taken in consultation with Nigel Kennedy, Head of Financial Services and Susan Sale, Head of Law and Governance.
