Agenda item

(Report of the Director Corporate Resources): to seek approval for the award of 10 multi-disciplinary Lots under the pan London CRCS framework agreement.

The interleaved report was the subject of a motion to exclude the press and public from the meeting as it contained exempt information relating to the business or financial affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information).

 

The Committee considered a report seeking approval for the award of 10 multi-disciplinary Lots of construction professional services under the Pan London Construction Related Consultants Services 2011 Framework agreement (CRCS 2011). Approval was being sought for the award of Lots 1-6 and 8-11, with the award for Lot 7 (CDM co-ordinators) having previously been delegated by the Committee in November 2011 to the Director Corporate Resources. The Committee noted the companies awarded under this Lot had been Calford Seaden Health and Safety Ltd, Cyril Sweett Ltd, Frankham Consultancy Group Ltd, Gleeds and Stace LLP.

 

In response to concerns raised by Members, assurances were provided that the Council would be able to exercise discretion when appointing contractors for individual projects under the framework and which would include considerations around previous history as appropriate. As an additional level of assurance, where appropriate mini competitions would be held between successful consultants to ensure competitive pricing and selection of the most appropriate consultant on a case by case basis.

 

It was advised that although the Council had served as the lead authority in relation to development of the framework, the costs associated with the procurement would be recovered against the framework using a levy arrangement.
