Decision Maker: Adur Cabinet Member for Adur Homes and Customer Services

Decision status: For Determination

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

To approve the award of contract to the successful tenderer, Blue Frog to undertake the cleaning of the common way and sheltered schemes of Adur District Council stock for the sum of £222,787.11 (excluding vat) per annum under a 3 + 1 +1 contract.

Reasons for the decision:

The current contract was awarded to Blue Frog in 2018 and is now due to expire. Due to the potential value of the contract it was issued out to tender and 6 formal tenders were submitted. The council has a duty under the Housing Act to ensure common areas in the housing stock are kept in reasonable order. After the due process and considering Quality and Cost the new contract is awarded to Blue Frog.

Alternative options considered:

Consideration was given to the 6 other companies that submitted a tender. We could also consider not issuing a contract but then we would be in breach of the Housing Act.
