Decision Maker: Service Director Strategic Housing, Property and Safer Communities

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: This decision was made following a review of service requirements that identified both organisations were using the same provider to meet their requirements. This demonstrated the ability to manage and meet the demand from both CDC and SLHD through one provider was possible. Combining demand into one contract and jointly procuring one contract relieves resource across the Strategic Procurement Team and the services areas directly using this service, Property Services for SLHD and Statutory and Planned Maintenance for CDC. It was also identified using Atamis (spend analysis system) that SLHD were paying £19.5k per annum for services that the Council was paying £14k per annum. SLHD requirements have not been under a contract and so have not benefited from fixed pricing. A contract combining demand allows CDC and SLHD to benefit from fixed pricing for the initial 3 years of the contract. The combined demand will also offer economies of scale due to a larger, consolidated contract being let. The new 5-year pricing was split to show the cost for CDC and SLHD separately. CDC will pay £13,616 per annum and SLHD will pay £13,121.
