Decision details

Replacement Doors and Windows

Decision Maker: Assistant Director - Housing

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The decision is required to undertake the procurement for a contract for the replacement of Doors and Windows in the Council’s Social Housing across North Yorkshire.
There is a current contract in place that covers only the old legacy area of Harrogate. This contract expires in September 2025, with an option for a 12-month extension.
Currently, there is no formal contract in place for Selby and RiDC. The new doors and window contract will cover both Selby and RiDC, with the option to include the Harrogate area when the Harrogate contract expires.

Decision:

Procure a new doors and windows contract to initially serve both Selby and RiDC, as neither currently has a formal agreement in place.

This contract will have a term of two years, with the option to extend for an additional two years (1+ 1+ years). Performance under the contract will be managed and monitored by the Housing Standards Team.

The former Harrogate area will be incorporated into this contract in the future. The existing Harrogate contract expires in September 2025, with a possible 12-month extension. Prior to any extension decision, a determination will be made regarding the amalgamation of the Harrogate area into the new Selby and RiDC contract.

Reasons for the decision:

Due to specialist nature of the work it is only appropriate to engage with an external contractor who has the capacity and experience to manage and deal with our legal obligations to comply with all relevant regulations and standards, including Decent Homes.

Alternative options considered:

Our own IHMT do not have the capacity to carry out work of this nature.
