RESOLVED:

1.         That a variation to the current Highway Works and Services Term Contract with F M Conway for an extension of up to 6 months from 31 August 2019 be approved, as provided for in CSO 27 of the Contract Standing Orders (CSO) and in particular S.27.12.2 in line with the procurement activities currently on going for a new contract to be in place. This is to allow enough time for mobilisation after contract award.

2.         That authority to approve the specific terms of the variation be delegated to the Director of Environment and Regeneration.

The Chair presented the report which set out a proposed extension to the current Highways Works and Service contract for six months.  The Director of Environment and Regeneration advised the Cabinet that although the requested extension was for up to six months, the whole six month period may not be required and the purpose was to enable a smooth transition between the current and new contract.
