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.
