Decision:

Cllr Heather Mercer has abstained from this decision as an Adur only matter.

 

The Adur Executive Member for Customer Services has agreed to award this contract to the highest scoring tender from the evaluation process, ABBA Mechatronics;

agreed that this contractor be appointed as Principal Contractor, subject to the placement of a contract and development of the Construction Phase Health & Safety Plan, prior to commencement of any works on site;

approved a virement of £65,200 from the Adur Homes External Works Unallocated Budget Provision to the Adur Homes Sheltered Accommodation Community Alarms Systems Budget; and

agreed that delegated authority be provided to the Head of Housing to enter into the contract and execute it on behalf of Adur District Council.

Reasons for the decision:

We have thirteen Sheltered Housing Schemes under our management and control. We intend to replace the existing Community Alarm and door control systems that are at the end of their economic life and take advantage of new technologies and infrastructure in so doing.

Alternative options considered:

There was a tender evaluation in terms of both quality and price, combining the scores, the tender from ABBA Mechatronic scored the highest.
