Report CEF21021

The Executive considered a report on procurement arrangements for professional consultancy services in relation to the delivery of the Council’s Education capital programme.  The Council’s previous arrangements for consultancy services were procured through the LB Lewisham consultants’ framework and had expired. The Council needed to ensure consultants were in place for new projects. 

The report had been scrutinised by the Children, Education and Families PDS Committee on 15 June 2021 and the Committee supported the recommendations.

RESOLVED that

(1) Proceeding to procurement for contracts for professional consultancy support for education capital schemes be approved as detailed in paragraph 4.3.1 of the report; the proposed length of the contracts are four years with an estimated overall value of £4m.

(2) Delegated authority be granted to the Director of Education to award contracts from the Lots, based on the agreed Basic Need Capital Programme, subject to agreement from the Portfolio Holder for Children, Education and Families, the Assistant Director Governance & Contracts, the Director of Corporate Services and the Director of Finance.
