Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To award a contract for the provision of retrofit services in support of the delivery of the Councils Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund 2.1 bid for energy efficiency works to its housing stock

Decision:

The Council award a contract to Myhome Surveys Ltd to undertake PAS 2035 retrofit assessment and coordination works as part of the SHDF 2.1 programme at an estimated contract value of £550,000.

Reasons for the decision:

Social housing providers have been set the target of all homes achieving a minimum EPC C rating by 2030. Following a review of Council properties, a programme of works has been identified which fulfils the requirements to bid for match funding.

 

Awarding a contract to Myhome Surveys Ltd for PAS 2035 retrofit assessment and coordination works the Council has a programme approach to achieving this target.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Do nothing. This is not considered a viable option as the Council will have to meet Government’s targets to achieve an EPC C rating in every property by 2030. In addition, failing to use the grant funding secured may have a negative impact on any future grant applications. Option not recommended.

 

Option 2 To award the contract to an alternative contractor. This is not considered to be appropriate because, following the evaluation process Myhome Surveys Ltd submitted the most economically advantageous tender. Option not recommended.

Reason Key: Incurring expenditure above £75,000 threshold in respect of revenue/£180,000 in respect of capital;
