Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Award of a contract to ODS to undertake repair work at 45 Queen Street for the value of £65,000
Decision:
To make a direct contract award to ODS for the value of £65,000 in order to undertake repair works at 45 Queen Street. This is in accordance with Part 19.11 of the Constitution: Commissioning Oxford Direct Services Limited for one off capital schemes.
Reasons for the decision:
The repair works are needed in order to address health and safety issues. After the previous tenant vacated the building the windows were found to be in a very poor state of disrepair. Structural issues were identified to the front bressumer over the shopfront. The works are also needed for the prevention of further deterioration to the building fabric and avoidance of more costly works at a later date.
Alternative options considered:
Consideration was given to passing the building to the new tenant without undertaking the work.
This was rejected due to the health and safety issues and risk to the existing structure.
