Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED:   That the Cabinet:   1)    Accept the tender from Caretech UK Ltd and award contract for the provision of The Service, Maintenance & Repair of Domestic Lifts & Hoists for a period of 3 years from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029 and at the value of circa £107k per annum: and;   2)    Agree that this includes the provision to extend the contract for a 2 + 2 year period (7 years in total), delegating authority to agree any extensions to the Corporate Director for Residents Services, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing and Property.   Reasons for decision   The Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing & Property introduced a report and recommendations, which Cabinet agreed, to award a contract for the ongoing servicing, maintenance and repair of domestic lifts and hoists in Council housing properties following a competitive tender process.   Alternative options considered and rejected   Doing nothing was rejected as it would have breached statutory inspection requirements, and delivering in-house was not pursued as it would have been more costly than using the existing contractor.   Relevant Committee Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Expiry date for any scrutiny call-in / date decision can be implemented (if no call-in) Cabinet’s decisions on this matter can be called in by a majority of the Committee by 5pm, Friday 3 July 2026. If not called-in by then, Cabinet’s decisions can then be implemented. Officer(s) to action John Phillips Directorate Residents Services Classification Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).  

Date of Decision: June 25, 2026
