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 holder.
Alternative options considered and rejected
The option to extend the current contract with Sector would not have complied with the Councils procurement rules.
The option to tender for a concierge service for another one or three or more year contract was considered. However another one year contract was felt to be too short and more continuity of service was required, while any more than a two year contract was felt to be too restrictive for a changing and improving service.
