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.   The council awarded two separate contracts to CLM Fireproofing Limited and Trail Services (UK) Limited respectively and both commenced on 22 November 2021. Both contracts are for an initial period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years. In November 2024, both contracts were extended for the first year of the 2-year extension available under the provisions of the contracts. Both extensions will expire on 21 November 2025.   This report recommends the extension of the current contracts with CLM Fireproofing Limited and Trail Services (UK) Limited for a further period of 1 year from 22 November 2025 to 21 November 2026, both being the second year of the extension period allowed. 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.
