Decision
That the procurement and
award of a Dorset Highways Contractor Resource (Labour Top-Up) Framework
(re-procurement exercise) be approved.
Reason for
the Decision
Cabinet is required to approve all key decisions
with a financial consequence of £500k or more, and procurements over £5m are
subject to individual reports (Cabinet 04-06-19 refers).
The technical summary for reasons for the
recommendation is as follows:
·
The pre-agreed rates and contract conditions allows Dorset Highways to
respond to changing demands / circumstances quickly and efficiently.
·
The quick procured method - call off, is far quicker than the
traditional quote, tender and mini-competition methods of procurement. This
reduces administration and back office costs
·
The multi supplier lots provide resilience if the preferred supplier
cannot fulfil the call-off
·
The multi supplier lots provide technical expertise in a variety of
specialist areas
·
The multi-supplier framework has worked for the last eight years.
·
The organisation risk is LOW
