Report of the Director of Finance & Resources (copy attached).

1.       That the Director of Finance & Resources be granted delegated authority to extend the council’s existing building maintenance consultancy contract for education and social care properties for a further period of up to two years.

46.1    The Cabinet Member considered a report of the Director of Finance & Resources concerning the building maintenance surveying consultancy, 1 September 2005 – 31 August 2012 (for copy see minute book).

46.2    The Assistant Director, Property & Design, advised that following implementation of the original decision made by the Policy & Resources Urgency Sub-Committee in May 205 to award a five-year building maintenance consultancy services to education & social care properties with an option for a further two-year extension, there was no provision as to which decision-making body within the council would have the authority to exercise the option. She explained that the report sought to rectify that omission and enable the Director of Finance & Resources to extend this contract up to a maximum of two year extension allowed under the contract subject to continuing performance.

46.3    RESOLVED – That, having considered the information and the reasons set out in the report, the Cabinet Member accepted the following recommendation:

(1)      That the Director of Finance & Resources be granted delegated authority to extend the council’s existing building maintenance consultancy contract for education and social care properties for a further period of up to two years.
