Decision details

Date of Decision:

26 April 2021

Decision Maker:

(Including Job Title)

Simon Moss, Assistant Director of Planning, Regeneration and Transport

Specific Delegation:

(If any)

Financial and Procurement Procedure Rule

Section 58.4 Delegation Arrangements.

Brief Description of Decision:

That the Assistant Director of Planning, Regeneration and Transport authorises, in line with Contract Standing Orders Section 34 Delegation Arrangements, the tender submitted by Sanderson Building Services Ltd on 3 December 2020 for heating, cooling and lighting renewal at Moorgate Crofts.

Reasons for the Decision:

Lighting fixtures within the building have reached end of life, with regular failures, heat damaged fittings and obsolete parts. This procurement replaces office and (remaining) communal area lighting with LEDs, enhancing and modernising the building while creating (modest) energy cost savings for the Council and business occupants while reducing the burden of maintenance on the Business Centres caretaker and electrical contractors.

In order to ensure the continued sustainability and economic impact from RiDO’s purpose-built incubation centres, it is essential to maintain a high-quality offer for private sector occupants. Unit licence fees are at the high end of the Rotherham property market and this creates an expectation from paying occupants for the Council to maintain the buildings to a high standard and in a timely manner.

Details of Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

Alternative tender submissions were considered and evaluated in the tender evaluation report.
