Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The Corporate Director for Community Development has approved to award the contract to the successful tender following a best value quotation exercise, to carry out refurbishment and retro-fit works on a property owned at Chapel Lane, Horton.

Reasons for the decision:

The Council has received grant funding from MHCLG to deliver improved carbon and energy efficient measures to 3 empty homes, this home being one of them. All grant funding needs to be expended in 2024/25. The Council sought quotes from 8 local contractors. The selected contractor submitted the most economically advantageous quote. The award will allow for the refurbishment and retro-fit works to be undertaken and the property be brought up to decent home standard which will include energy efficient measures.

Alternative options considered:

A contractor was sought tendering via YorTender, but only one quote was received which was deemed not to be value for money.

The In House Development Team were unable to take the project on at this time.
