Request for Approval - St George's RC High School Demolition - Jon Phillips Decision: Salford City Council - Record of Decision
I Councillor Hinds, Lead Member for Finance and Support Services and chairman of the Procurement Board, in exercise of the powers contained within the Council Constitution do hereby approve the award of the following contract for a project approved under the Capital Programme as detailed below:-
The Reasons are: To reduce Anti-social behaviour activities and the preparation of the site for re-development.
Options considered and rejected were: None. All procedures are in accordance with normal Contractual Standing Orders
The works have been identified as a priority under the capital programme as the building has become a concern due to ASBO, which has resulted in an increase amount of vandalism after being vacated by the BBC Northwest.
The building contains significant amounts of asbestos material for, which removal will be under a controlled licenced requirement and will dictate the speed of the demolition. Connell Brothers hold a full 3-year asbestos removal licence and are long standing members of ARCA (Asbestos Removal Contractors Association).
With Connell Brothers controlling ‘in house’ both the licenced asbestos removal work and the demolition work this will help eliminate any problems associated with placing a heavy reliance on a sub-contracted 3rd party licenced asbestos removal contractor. Given urgency to demolish the building it is deemed advantageous to appoint a demolition contractor who holds an asbestos removal licence.

Decision: Salford City Council - Record of Decision
I Councillor Hinds, Lead Member for Finance and Support Services and chairman of the Procurement Board, in exercise of the powers contained within the Council Constitution do hereby approve the award of the following contract for a project approved under the capital programme as detailed below:-
The Reasons are: To appoint a constructor partner on the design and build housing project to finalise costs and agreed budgets for Stage 2 of the design and build procurement route.
Options considered and rejected were: None. All procedures are in accordance with normal Contractual Standing Orders
The programme has been developed to achieve the delivery of contracts to meet the grant funding criteria and the necessary phased completion dates.
Procurement Board should note that full ownership control of the site has not yet been secured.
This will be a risk to development progression and business plan viability if not resolved quickly and at reasonable cost. Officers are confident this can be achieved.
The cost of this scheme is built into the approved capital programme funded from a combination of self-financing borrowing and grant funding on the basis that all units will ultimately be funded by Derive on their transfer at completion.

Additional documents: Decision: Salford City Council - Record of Decision
I Councillor Hinds, Lead Member for Finance and Support Services and chairman of the Procurement Board, in exercise of the powers contained within the Council Constitution do hereby approve the award of the contract as outline in the table below:
The Reasons are the existing choice based lettings website, Salford Home Search, is no longer fit for purpose. It is not possible to interface it with the homelessness case management system resulting in the duplication of inputting for the Housing Options Team resulting in unnecessary work. The reporting function is limited and there are not the resources available to update it. By combining the two existing contracts with Locata, the homelessness case management and CBL, there will be greater financial control. Options considered and rejected were to develop a new in-house system because it is not possible to interface with the existing homelessness case management system. Assessment of Risk - the current system is inefficient, outdated and unsupported. If the contract is not awarded, staff resources will continue to be wasted through the duplication of work and the completion of manual tasks that could be automated. Landlords will continue to lose rental income due to the lack of flexibility imposed by a prescribed bidding cycle as opposed to being able to advertise properties as soon as notice is given by the tenant. Award of the contract will enable greater financial control.
The source of funding is Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government Homelessness Prevention Funding.

Request for Approval - Civic Centre Refurbishment - Dave Lyon Decision: Salford City Council - Record of Decision
I Councillor Hinds, Lead Member for Finance and Support Services and chairman of the Procurement Board, in exercise of the powers contained within the Council Constitution do hereby approve the award of the following contract for a project approved under the corporate capital programme as detailed below:-
The Reasons are: To refurbish outdated accommodation and provide suitable workspaces that are in alignment with the Council’s corporate strategy.
Options considered and rejected were: None. All procedures are in accordance with normal Contractual Standing Orders
The current office accommodation is no longer suitable for the councils needs in delivering its frontline and essential services. Following the coronavirus pandemic it has been established that the workspaces require reconfiguration/refurbishment to meet the requirements of the service areas and the welfare areas improving to improve cleaning and sanitisation. This will provide safe flexible working areas to assist in the delivery of Council services to the residents of Salford.
