Purpose of report

Following a fully compliant procurement process, the Council was now in a position to award a contract for the surveying and analytical services in relation to asbestos within the Council’s housing stock. This report sought Cabinet approval to award the contract to the successful contractor.

Decision

That Cabinet approves the Council entering into a contract for Asbestos Surveying and Analytical services with Tersus.

Alternative options considered and rejected

Continuing with the current contractor was not recommended as there were no contract extension options and asbestos management was a key housing compliance theme.

Reason for decision

A fully compliant procurement process had resulted in the identification of a supplier that met the Council’s requirements.

The report outlined a key contract which enabled the Council to fulfil its regulatory duty to its tenanted properties.

There had been a compliant procurement process behind the award of the contract, started in the summer of 2022, through the Fusion 21 framework.

The report met the Corporate Priority of ‘Housing that meets the needs of all residents’.
