Purpose:
Content: RESOLVED: That the Cabinet: 1) Accept the tender from Elevator Repairs Specialists Ltd and award contract for the provision of The Communal Passenger & Good Lift Maintenance & Repairs Services Contract for a period of 3 years from 1st November 2026 to 31st October 2029 and at the value of circa £306k per annum: and; 2) Agree that this includes the provision to extend the contract for a 2 + 2-year period (3 + 2 + 2 = 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 provision of The Communal Passenger & Good Lift Maintenance & Repairs Services to approximately 116 communal passenger lifts within housing blocks, the Civic Centre and other corporate buildings. Alternative options considered and rejected Cabinet rejected in-house delivery or not carrying out inspections, as these options would increase costs or fail to meet statutory safety requirements. 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 31 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: July 23, 2026
