Purpose of report

To obtain approval to enter into a contract with Foster Property Maintenance Limited for the provision of replacing both pitched and flat roof coverings to Council owned dwellings for South Kesteven District Council. The contract would be awarded for an initial period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further 1 plus 1 year.

Decision

That Cabinet approves the award of a contract to Foster Property Maintenance Limited for the replacement of pitched and flat roof coverings at South Kesteven District Council owned dwellings with an annual contract value of up to £1.5m for a period of two years with the option to extend for a further one year plus one year.

Alternative options considered and rejected

Consideration had been given to the option of maintaining the roof coverings, with replacement of failed components and replacing sections of tiles and felt, but these were not cost effective in the long term with replacement being inevitable.

Reasons for decision

The proposed contract award had followed compliant procurement processes and would provide the Council with the appropriate contracts to enable it to deliver the commitment to ensure that all residents can access housing which was safe, good quality, sustainable and suitable for their needs and future generations.

With the addition of the optional time, the potential life of the contract would be four years.
