(30% variation).

This report relates to the Priority 1 programme which aims to
address condition & suitability issues in Education/School
sites. There is a requirement from the Client (Children’s
Services) to undertake suitability surveys at all Children’s
Centres within the borough.
Delivering the role in-house was considered
however there is no resource within the Council that has the
capacity along with the necessary experience, qualifications and
expertise to deliver this service.
Keegans were recently appointed to undertake condition surveys at
the above premises. This award was made following a competitive
tender exercise via the Councils Dynamic Purchasing System. Keegans
have working knowledge of these sites and are able to deliver
surveys and reports against a constrained programme. On this basis
a variation to Keegans is considered to offer the Council best
value.
Undertaking a new competitive tender exercise via the Councils
Dynamic Purchasing System was therefore discounted as not offering
the council best value in terms of Council resources, programme
constraint and existing knowledge of the sites.
