Decision details

GMP DN A1114 Rochdale DHQ Roofing Works

Decision Maker: GM Deputy Mayor, Treasurer GMCA

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The Rochdale DHQ roofing works required are fairly specialist in nature and would potentially be limited to a small group of contractors. These works need to be managed and coordinated by a Principal Contractor to oversee all matters including quality, logistics and health and safety.

Decision:

The Deputy Mayor approves the direct award of a contract for the provision of a specialised construction partner to undertake the Rochdale DHQ roofing works, to Wardens Construction, with an anticipated construction commencement of August 2024 and an estimated 16 weeks for project completion and handover of the completed project in December 2024, subject to weather conditions.

The likely value of the works would be circa £850,000.

Alternative options considered:

• Quotation or select list tender: Rejected. This would not meet Procurement rules.
• Open tender: Rejected. Whilst this is a viable route to market, it would cause a delay to the project and to works starting on site, when time is of the essence.
• Restricted tender: Rejected. Whilst this is also a viable route to market, it would cause significant delays to the project and to works starting on site, when time is of the essence.
