Decision details

The award of this contract will enable the Council to continue to meet the decent homes standard and comply with all associated compliance and health and safety regulations and for the Council to continue to meet its ongoing Corporate Priority; “Your Home.”
This will be a 3-year contract, with a potential to extend for a further 3 years (3+ 1+1+1). The estimated annual spend for the Council for this service is around £79,000, which is within the approved budget for this work within the Housing Revenue Account.
The decision is to award the above contract to by South Lincs Surveyors Ltd.

Following an open tender process (which is fully compliant with EU procurement rules), two tenders were received. All tenders were evaluated independently by three officers in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out in the documents provided to the bidding organisations.
Following that evaluation process the tender submitted by South Lincs Surveyors Ltd was the highest scoring tender overall which was based on 60% quality and 40% price.

Option 1 - Do nothing. The Council will not be able to actively monitor and manage damp conditions within its housing stock. This would have a detrimental effect on the conditions of the council’s assets but more importantly the health and wellbeing of our tenants. Not recommended
Option 2 - Award the contract to an alternative contractor – This is not considered to be appropriate because, following the evaluation process, by South Lincs Surveyors Ltd submitted the most economically advantageous tender. Not recommended.
