Decision:

Phase 2 of Non-destructive testing of timbers at 36 Boutport Street and the Pannier Market

The proposed contract for the above will be between £5,000 and £39,999.

With this RFW I include a copy of the specification or brief which has been prepared for this contract and which details the goods, services and/or works which will be provided.

Reasons for the decision:

Previously attempted to source a specialist to provide NDT works but to no avail. RSK provided the previous survey and is familiar with the building and requirements. Seeking further quotes will cause unnecessary delays as we previously failed to gain three quotes and there is no indication this will change.

Alternative options considered:

In accordance with the Council’s Contract Procedures Rules, three alternative quotes should be obtained and the lowest quotation should be accepted.

I can confirm that I have sought advice from Legal Services and we have agreed that it is appropriate that this requirement be waived for the following reason(s):

Obtaining three price quotes is not appropriate
