The Head of Housing had submitted a report to seek project approval and delegation to award a contract to deliver Lift Maintenance and Repair Services to the Council.

Councillor Turner, Cabinet Member for Finance & Asset Management, introduced the report. A new contract needed to be procured as the existing one was coming to an end. He drew attention to the fact that this would take account of the new procurement policy and so look for proper a balance between quality and price, promotion of the Oxford Living Wage and the inclusion of Social Value.

 

In response to a question about the possibility of bringing this work in house it was explained that it required a degree of specialisation which was not currently available within either the Council or ODS and this was not an area of work into which the latter was likely to want to expand.

 

It was agreed that some form of tenant involvement with this contract would be valuable.

 

Cabinet resolved to:

1.Grant project approval for the provision of Lift Maintenance and Repair Services to the Council; and

2.Delegate authority to the 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.
