The Reasons are

  1. Salford are required to submit high level plans for how we intend to spend our additional three years funding in May 2022, and more detailed plans for years two and three worked through over the next 6-9 months with cluster and wider partners. It would be highly disruptive to our planning and delivery of strategy if Salford had to build in a recommissioning process into this timeframe.

 

  1. A recommissioning process would also be highly disruptive to both the service provider and service users (who are some of the most vulnerable people in society) at a time when we need to focus on working together to implement the new Drugs Strategy to meet the needs of Salford’s population and achieve Black’s recommendations.

 

  1. A recommissioning process would be highly disruptive to Cluster authorities – Trafford and Bolton as the current contract is a tri- brough cluster commission. This has the potential to destabilise the drug and alcohol system and service users across three boroughs in Greater Manchester.

 

  1. Performance is good and consistently above the national average. GMMH have a CQC rating of ‘outstanding’ for its substance misuse service.  Salford continues to be a high performing drug and alcohol system within Greater Manchester (GM) as evidenced by the data metrics available in the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS. The Salford treatment system has the second highest successful treatment rate for drug users in Greater Manchester, including the best overall for opiate users, typically the cohort with both the lowest success rate and the highest lifetime cost  ...  view the full decision text for item 5a

The Reasons are: The works identified are planned maintenance works to the upgrading of the roofs identified on the school’s asset management plan. The flat roof is beyond its anticipated life span and there are areas where the areas of the roof are bubbling and retaining water. The school have had to undertake a number of patch repairs to prevent water ingress. The works are to the flat roof areas above the circulation corridors in the building. The works include the upgrading of the existing roof with a cold applied liquid membrane roofing solution with tapered insulation to achieve U values of 0.18W/m2. All works will be covered by a 20-year guarantee.

 

Options considered and rejected were: None. All procedures are in accordance with normal Contractual Standing Orders

 

Assessment of Risk: Medium

Failure to undertake these works would result in costly patch repairs and potential closure of parts of the school building.

 

The source of funding is: Schools condition grant 2022/23 – Expenditure code: E22020

 

Legal Advice obtained. Supplied by: The Shared Legal Service – Contact Officer and telephone number: Tony Hatton – Principal Solicitor tel. 0161 219 6323

 

When commissioning contracts for the procurement of goods, services, or the execution of works, the Council must comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) and its own Contractual Standing Orders (CSO’s), failing which a contract may be subject to legal challenge from an aggrieved provider. The proposed award of the contract follows a tender exercise by mini competition in accordance with the Minor Building Works Framework Agreement Lot 2.

 

The purpose of a framework agreement is to select through a procurement/ evaluation process a number of providers who can meet the service requirements  ...  view the full decision text for item 5b
