Members considered a report which sought approval for the appointment of a contractor for the provision of building work arising from the delivery of the first two schools in the Primary Capital Programme.

The matter had been brought to the Executive because the results of the MEAT (Most Economically Advantageous Tender) process had established a preferred bidder whose bid was not the lowest priced. 

Six companies had submitted tenders for the contract.  Details of the tender process were set out in Annex 1 to the report and details of the tender results were provided in (exempt) Annex 2.  Approval was now sought to award the contact to the preferred bidder, identified as ‘Company A’.

RESOLVED: (i)         That the appointment of Company A, as the Constructor to work as an integrated partnering team to design and develop the new schools at Rawcliffe Infant and Clifton (Without) Junior and our Lady’s and English Martyrs’ Roman Catholic Primary Schools, be approved. ¹
