Purpose: The council has a duty to repair and maintain properties under its housing stock to a decent habitable standard and has a legal obligation to ensure fire risks are managed and provide appropriate fire prevention and intervention systems to properties. Individual contracts were awarded to Gerda Security Products Limited and Shellen Security Limited and both started on 15 September 2020. Both contracts are for an initial period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years. Both contracts were extended in 2023 for the additional 2 years, and they are now both due to expire on 14 September 2025. This report recommends an extension of the current contracts with both Gerda Security Products Limited and Shellen Security Limited for a period of 1 year from 15 September 2025 to 14 September 2026. Each contract has a value up to £1,000,000 per annum. These services are crucial to the council’s operations. Both contractors have performed well since their contract commenced, and it will be expected that they will continue to deliver at the same level as a minimum.
