Request for waiver

Decision:

To waive the request for waiver and award the contract to MJS in relation to Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) Ref: WK/202307771.

Reasons for the decision:

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):
The quotation received from MJS was the lower of the two quotations returned via the Supplying the Southwest Portal. Three contractors were invited to quote, within a 21day deadline. The estimated cost of works for this job was £30K to include £10K for a complex level access shower (separate grant type), therefore the proposed cost is within the estimated cost of £20K.
