Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Award of contract to ODS for the value of £275,000 to undertake external repairs and redecorations to 13 – 14 and 14A Broad Street, Oxford

Decision:

To make a direct contract award to ODS for the value of £275,000 to undertake repair works to 13 – 14 and 14A Broad Street.  The requirement for the works to these Listed Buildings, which are let on internal repairing leases, was identified by Corporate Property.  The contract has been awarded in accordance with Part 19.11 of the Constitution: Commissioning Oxford Direct Services Limited for one off capital schemes.

Reasons for the decision:

The properties are in a poor state of disrepair.  The work is necessary to comply with the terms of the lease and prevent further deterioration and water penetration to the structural fabric of the building.

 

Alternative options considered:

Previous consideration has been given to selling Broad Street assets but they are an important asset with long term place making potential.
