5.    Approves the award to PROCare Shower & Bathroom Centre Ltd. a contract to participate in the Aids & Adaptation Works and provide the sanitary ware and specialist aids and adaptations materials to the above four works contractors for an estimated contract value of £1,446,728 but at no direct cost to the Council.

 

Reasons for decision

 

The Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport introduced the report, which Cabinet agreed, to accept a number of tenders for the provision of Aids & Adaptation services within Private Dwellings and Council's Housing Stock for residents with disabilities, including the vulnerable and older people. It was noted that this followed a competitive procurement exercise and works would be split on an area basis, with specialist support.

 

Alternative options considered and rejected

 

Cabinet could have decided to continue to tender small packages of works, but considered this not the best approach to provide such services in an efficient and effective way.

Classification

Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
