Award of a contract under Contract Standing Order (CSO) 9.07.1c to Squibb Group Ltd to provide demolition services on the Brunel Walk housing delivery project.

Decision Maker: Assistant Director for Housing

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

It is recommended that the Director of Housing, Regeneration and Planning approves the award of a contract to Squibb Group Ltd as allowed under CSO 9.07.1c (Bid Acceptance and Contract Award) in the sum of £235,057.99p excluding VAT for demolition services on the Brunel Walk housing delivery project.

Reasons for the decision:

To progress the scheme by appointing a demolition contractor for demolition services on the Brunel Walk housing delivery project.

Alternative options considered:

The Council could have procured these services as part of the main construction contract but this delay in procurement would have incurred substantial additional expense in security costs. Demolition ahead of the main contract will also allow the council to secure a price received in the last quarter of 21/22, avoiding the inflation which will be applied if we were to tender for demolition as part of the main works contract.
