To consider a report by the Director of Operational Services seeking approval for securing the necessary professional services for phase 1 and 2.

That the Director of Operational Services be authorised to secure, using the “single tender” procedure contained in the Code of Procurement, the services of Messrs Macmon and Dudley Smith in connection with the Sapley Square project.

That the Director of Operational Services be authorised to secure the necessary Clerk of Work services using an approach that delivers best value for money for the Council.

With the assistance of a report by the Director of Operational Services (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) the Cabinet was acquainted with the arrangements for securing the necessary professional services for phase 2 of the Sapley Square redevelopment in Huntingdon.

The Cabinet noted that as a result of the physical proximity of the two phases, it would be impractical to instruct different contractors for each phase.  Having been advised that the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister had no objection, in principle, to that arrangement, the Cabinet

RESOLVED

  (a)that the Director of Operational Services be authorised to secure, using the “single tender” procedure contained in the Code of Procurement, the services of Messrs Macmon and Dudley Smith in connection with the Sapley Square project; and

  (b)that the Director of Operational Services be authorised to secure the necessary Clerk of Work services using an approach that delivers best value for money for the Council.
