Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To approve recommendations as set out in Section 3 of the attached report.

Reasons for the decision:

O.S. Comms provide specialist health and safety equipment, and maintenance of that equipment, to the council's Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs)

Existing equipment is regularly failing and needs replacing to ensure safety of our CEOs.


Alternative options considered:

Do not procure - not considered an acceptable option as equipment is failing and is essential H&S equipment.

Obtain additional quotations - market is specialist and limited, therefore difficulty securing additional quotes. Additionally, awarding contact to original equipment supplier ensures continuity of maintenance, data storage and radio licences.
