Authority is given to instruct Legal Services
to act on behalf of the Housing Repairs service to award a contract
to BSW Heating for the delivery of domestic gas servicing,
breakdowns, replacements and repairs across the Council’s
housing stock. The contract will be for a total of five years,
structured as a 3+1+1 year arrangement to allow flexibility in line
with future devolution timelines. The contract award will follow
full compliance with Arun District Council’s procurement
regulations and any associated statutory requirements.
To ensure continuity of statutory gas
servicing and emergency repairs for tenants, and to deliver best
value through a competitive procurement process. The 3+1+1
structure allows flexibility and responsiveness to future changes
in service design or governance.
Continuing with the current supplier without
procurement – rejected due to procurement regulations.
Re-tendering the contract with different terms – rejected as
the proposed structure provides best value and flexibility.
In-sourcing – not currently viable due to scale and resource
requirements.
