Decision details

This matter being dealt with under a general exception notice in order to meet the requirements of Access to Information Procedures for Key Decisions.

Decision

(a)       That the procurement of the Healthy Homes Dorset 2020 contract, value up to £1.5 million, be approved;

(b)       That authority be delegated to the Executive Director for Place min consultation with the Portfolio Holder, Economic Growth, Assets and Property to award the contract.

Reason for Recommendation:    

The Council has recently been awarded £859,400 from round 1a of the Government Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery initiative and is planning further bids to the fund. Meeting the tight delivery deadlines attached to the grants will be challenging if procurement is not completed swiftly. Procuring a contract with a value of up to £1.5 million allows headroom for current and future grants in addition to the original Dorset Councils budget for this project.
