To agree the Strategic Procurement Plan to
appoint a main contractor to design and construct 2 new schools and
a SRP provision.
RESOLVED that
i. the Executive approves this Strategic Procurement Plan to tender the appointment of two separate main contractors under 2 separate JCT Building Contracts, to create additional SEMH and SRP provision across 2 sites within the borough (subject to securing planning approval).
ii. authority be delegated to the Executive Director, Communities and the
Executive Member for Children, Young People and Learning, to award the works contracts to the providers meeting the requirements of the contract. Subject to sufficient resources.
It is a requirement of the contract standing orders, that the Executive approve any strategic procurement plan with a value more than £1m. This decision seeks approval for the procurement process.
Consideration has been given to seek contractors through a 2-stage restricted procurement process, but this would require a minimum period of 16 months to conclude and secure a contractor. Therefore, this would not be a viable solution and would delay the delivery of school place being available as required.
