Issue - meetings

(Report of the Director of Urban Environment): To award the contract for Phase NT9 of the North Tottenham Decent Homes programme for 2008/09.

The Appendices 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.

In response to a query regarding the potential to negotiate down maximum prices in light of the economic situation, confirmation was given that ongoing price negotiations are held with contractors, with the result that fees detailed in Appendix A are lower than originally tendered.

RESOLVED:

That, in accordance with Contract Standing Order 11.03, approval be granted for the award of the contract for Phase NT9 of the North Tottenham Decent Homes Programme 2008/09 to the contractor named in the interleaved exempt Appendix A.

That the Agreed Maximum Price excluding fees as detailed in Paragraph 2.2 of Appendix A be noted.
