Purpose:

Contract Extension for Hard Facilities Management Fixed Electrical Inspection and Testing and Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

Decision:

To extend the Hard Facilities Management Fixed Electrical Inspection and Testing and Portable Appliance Testing contracts.

Reasons for the decision:

The current Hard Facilities Management Fixed Electrical Inspection and Testing and Portable Appliance Testing contracts established by the former County Council are due to expire at the end January 2025.

A decision has been made to extend the contracts until the 31st January 2026.

The decision has been made following a review of all options under a Gateway process. The high-level advantages include; that the contracts were competitively tendered through the approved open public procurement process with prices and rates fixed for the full term of the contracts (based on agreed annual price revision clauses) helping to offset any current market prices increases / risk, shorter process in extending over re-tendering from a resource and cost point of view, no potential break in service during changeover, ability to continue usage for traded services, maintaining positive relationship with current supplier.

Alternative options considered:

None.
