Approval to award Highway Street Lighting Maintenance Contract
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Environment
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
This report seeks approval from the
Environment Cabinet Member to award the Highway Street Lighting
Maintenance Contract following EU procurement
Decision:
(1) That the Cabinet Member approves the award of the Street Lighting Term Maintenance Contract which has been procured in partnership with East Sussex County Council.
(2) That Colas Ltd, having submitted the best value tender, be awarded the new joint contract for street lighting maintenance across East Sussex and Brighton and Hove.
Reasons for the decision:
1. The Council has a duty maintain street lighting and electrical equipment on the public highway under the Highways Act 1980. This Contract facilitates this requirement.
2. This contract succeeds the current Street Lighting Maintenance Term Contract that terminates on 31st March 2010. This form of contract, procured through the EU process is considered most suitable.
Alternative options considered:
Permission was granted by CMM to enable us to commence the joint procurement process so CMM have accepted the principle of a maintenance contract tender rather than other options.
