Decision:

Request to waive Contract Standing Order 8.03 as allowed under CSO 10.01.2 d (iii) for the appointment of Merton Scaffolding Ltd on Topham Square car park rear 15-25 Risley Avenue N17 7HL

Reasons for the decision:

Merton Scaffolding Ltd to erect scaffolding in order to carry out a full audit of works carried out by NFC Homes Ltd. This involves inspection to all areas on the roof to ensure these areas are watertight, ensure the front are full netted. To identify any rectification to the roof areas and window installation on all plots. They can recommence work immediately to protect the rest of the structure where exposed to the elements.

Alternative options considered:

Waiting until a new works contractor is appointed and on site will take some months and during this time, the building could further deteriorate.
Tendering out a new contract would cost the Council additional money and time, so this option was therefore rejected
