Approval to accept UKPN quote for diversion of HV, LV and pilot cables for Selby Urban Village Phase 2 at The Selby Centre

Decision Maker: Head of Housing Development

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The Head of Housing Development is recommended to approve the acceptance of UKPN quote for diversion of HV, LV and pilot cables for Selby Urban Village Phase 2 at The Selby Centre under Contract Standing Orders (CSO) 8.08 and 9.07.1C and Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015)

Reasons for the decision:

The Council requires diversions works for the Selby Urban Village project to be developed.

UKPN have advised that the removal of their planning objection is contingent on the quote being accepted and the Council requires planning consent to progress with the development of the Selby Urban Village.

It is therefore recommended that the Head of Housing Development approves this request for diversion works by UKPN for £64,816.06.

Alternative options considered:

The council could defer the procurement of the diversion works required for Phase 2 of the Selby Urban Village project until the contract for the main construction works is let in 2025 and have this element included with the contractor’s services procurement. However, this could result in higher costs to the Council and could cause a delay in the planning process.
