within the fishermen’s working area.
I can confirm that, despite non-compliance with the requirement to seek at least three quotes, the award of this contract to the above supplier will be best value for the Council for the following reason(s):
Oltco have been awarded by the Marine Management Organisation to supply this resin bound walkway as part of the grant funding ENGFaSS2939 and as such have undergone the MMOs procurement process which is in line with the councils own procurement process. Oltco are the only supplier of resin bound surfaces that utilise waste plastic made from recycled fishing waste from vessels in the south west including those in Ilfracombe Harbour. This material is suitable for heavy artic lorries and has a 20 year minimum guarantee.

A Obtaining three price quotes is not appropriate
