Report: Sheltered Housing Lift Project

Presented by: Councillor Paul McGeary, Cabinet Member for Housing & Property

Summary

This report concerns the award of a contract, after a compliant tender process, for the construction of nine lifts housed in small extensions at three two-storey sheltered schemes in Havering.

The works were requested due to sheltered scheme residents having increasing issues with mobility therefore finding stairs difficult. It was agreed to investigate the possibilities and, subsequently after some consultation, look at design options.  Planning consent was obtained for the works.

The works were tendered following approval of the non-key ED giving authorisation to seek tenders.  A compliant tender process was undertaken in accordance with that authorisation and bids were evaluated on a 70/30 price/quality ratio. The tender process was reviewed and approved by the Procurement Gateway Review Group on 9^th May 2024. More detail can be found in exempt appendix A.

The most economically advantageous tender, submitted by Kirkman and Jourdain Ltd, is within budget at £1,438,813.
