Decision

 

The Cabinet approved for the Council to enter into a contract with Huws Gray for the supply of building materials for use by our in-house repairs and voids trades teams.

 

Reasons for the decision

 

The Council was required to ensure that a contract was in place for the procurement of materials for use by the in-house repairs and voids teams.  The current contract had expired and required renewal.

 

This contract had been procured in accordance with relevant Council policies and procedures to ensure transparency, value for money and compliance with procurement legalisation and Council policies.

 

Once the recommendation had been approved, the preferred bidder would be notified of the outcome, and the Council intended to execute the Contract at the conclusion of any standstill period with the intention to enter into contract on 1 May 2026.

 

Other options considered

 

The Council could have chosen not to procure a new materials contractor, but this was not considered an option due the existing contract expiring. Without a contract in place the Council was not compliant with relevant procurement regulations and Council policies and procedures.
