Decision details

The report of the Director of Early Intervention and support was presented by the Deputy Executive Leader and Executive Member (Resources). The report provided details of the procurement exercise being undertaken to renew the contract for the delivery of the concierge service for Cotswold Supported Housing, including the evaluations criteria which would be used to award the contract.

Decision:

1.    Approval of the contract award procedure, evaluation criteria and weightings which will be used to award a new contract for the provision of night caretaking and concierge service at Cotswold Supported Housing.

2.    Delegated authority granted to the Executive Member (Resources) to award the contract to the successful bidder.

Reasons for recommendation(s)

In accordance with the Councils contract procedure rules, approval of the contract award procedure and evaluation criteria to be used is required from the relevant Executive Member portfolio.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

1.    The option to extend the current contract with Sector would not comply with the Council’s procurement rules.

2.    The option to tender for a concierge service for another one or three of more years contract was considered. However, another one year contract was felt to be too short and more continuity of service is required, whilst more than a two year contract was felt to be too restrictive for a changing and improving service.
