Request for approval for a waiver of CSO 8.03
(requirement to obtain at least three competitive quotations) in
accordance with CSO 10.01.1(a) on the grounds set out in CSO
10.1.2(d.ii).
Request for approval of the award of contract to DisabledGo for the
provision and maintenance of detailed access guides up to a maximum
contract value of £31,277.95, comprised of 5 equal payments
to commence in June 2017 and end on 31 May 2022.
DisabledGo is the leading provider of access
information for disabled people in the UK. They work on behalf of
Local Authorities, top Universities, NHS Trusts and private sector
organisations to publish detailed access information on well over
125,000 places of interest across the UK and the Republic of
Ireland. They offer a unique service and the provider was
recommended to Haringey by service users who use the website when
they visit other Local Authorities public buildings/museums/etc.
The contract represents good value for money, as the costs have
been apportioned for Haringey over the 5 years.
An access guide is an empowering tool that enables people to make
informed choices about the services they want to access. This is a
good practice proposal will benefit all user groups, including
children's, and will be accessible to family carers.
