Request for Waiver: Hire of Temporary Bailer
from Waste Equipment Supplies Ltd
Hire of Temporary Baler
The proposed contract for the above will be between £5,000
and £74,999.99.
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.
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):
It is the cheapest quote over 24 months and provides the best value
for money. Waste Eqpt only quoted for 2 years, where as Middletons
quoted for 12 months and 24 months. If we exceed the agreed period,
Middletons will charge a fee of £3640 per month. Meaning that
if we went with Middletons for 12 months and it over ran by two
months, the contract would be more expensive than Waste Eqpt
Supplies.
I can confirm that the contract terms which
will be used for this contract will be the Council’s standard
terms and conditions for goods and services or (where relevant)
works or, where this is not the case, I have sought the approval of
Legal Services to the alternative terms and conditions that I
propose to use for this contract.
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):
- Received fewer than three price quotes
