6 Urgent Item of Business - Procurement - Award of Contracts for Works, Goods and Services
[To approve the award of contracts for works, goods and services]
Decision:
That the award of a contract for Bob Jones Community Centre – Roof Replacement to E Manton Limited of 2440 Regents Court, The Crescent Birmingham Business, Birmingham, B37 7YE for a duration of 12 weeks plus a 12 months Defects Liability Period from 21 September 2020 to 11 December 2020 be approved.
Minutes:
The intention to make the key decision on the report ‘Bob Jones Community Centre – Roof Replacement’, at the meeting was not publicised in advance as required by the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012. The decision was urgent and could not be reasonably delayed for the following reasons:
The next available meeting would be 7 October 2020 however this would push the programmed completion date back for the works by five weeks. The impact would be the building would remain closed until early January 2021. This could prove reputationally damaging and impact revenue income.
Additionally, the roof urgently needs replacing as it continually lets in water every time it rains, causing significant structural damage.
In light of the above, consent had been obtained for the key decision to be made at the meeting under the Special Urgency provisions.
Councillor Louise Miles presented the report on the award of a contract for Bob Jones Community Centre – Roof Replacement.
Resolved:
That the award of a contract for Bob Jones Community Centre – Roof Replacement to E Manton Limited of 2440 Regents Court, The Crescent Birmingham Business, Birmingham, B37 7YE for a duration of 12 weeks plus a 12 months Defects Liability Period from 21 September 2020 to 11 December 2020 be approved.
