Minutes:

The Cabinet Member noted the report, which sought approval for entering into a Framework Contract with London Borough of Ealing for the provision of Highways and Transport Consultancy Services.

 

RESOLVED

 

              I.        That the Council enter into an Access Agreement with the London Borough of Ealing in Relation to Ealing Framework Contract for Highways and Transport Services.

            II.        That the Council subsequently enter into a non-binding Call-off Agreement with the Project Centre Ltd under the Framework Contract between Ealing Council and Project Centre Ltd to place orders for the provision of highways and transport consultancy services for the period until the expiry of the Framework Contract on 15 November 2020.

           III.        To approve the placing of orders under the Call-off Agreement with Project Centre Ltd up to a combined maximum value of £1,000,000 per annum for the duration of the Framework Contract.

 

Reasons for decision

 

Due to a fluctuating work load and the availability of funding, there are occasions when the Sustainable Transport service have been unable to deliver additional highways and transport services beyond the current work programme. The use of external consultancy services will allow the Council to cater for additional demand peaks, and to do so in a cost-effective manner.

 

 

Alternative options considered

 

The contractual arrangements described in this report are intended to ensure that the Council can access professional and technical support in advance of the development and implementation of a procurement strategy that will provide a long term solution for the provision of the services required. The strategy to be developed will comply with the requirements of the Public Contracts 2015 (‘the ‘Regulations’) that govern the advertising, tendering and award of contracts valued above the EU threshold for the provision of Services.
