Issue - meetings

(Report of the Director of Urban Environment): To seek approval to the award of the contract for the Decent Homes Programme for the Roundway and Waltheof Gardens N.17.

Details of the contracts which were set out in the Appendix to the interleaved report were the subject of a motion to exclude the press and public from the meeting as they contained exempt information relating to the business or financial affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information).

Members received information on this phase of the decent homes programme.  We queried the differing costs of the compliance teams between the phases presented to the committee, but were assured by Officers that this was a provision of the contract, with one contractor and compliance team allocated to each area of the borough.

We were assured by Officers that differing unit costs were related to different existing levels of meeting of the decency standard.  Members requested that future reports contain details of the works to take place.

RESOLVED:

1.      That the contract for the North Tottenham Decent Homes Works Phase NT1 contract be awarded to Lovell Partnership Ltd  , as allowed under Contract Standing Order (CSO) 11.03.

2.      That the total Agreed Maximum Price excluding fees as detailed in Para 2.1 of Appendix A be noted.
