Decision details

RESOLVED

i)          To delegate authority to the Cabinet Member for the Local Economy to award and enter into the contract to secure a supplier to purchase, install, maintain, and operate a network of Electric Vehicle Charge Points to the preferred supplier.

ii)         To delegate authority to the Director of Place, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for the Local Economy, to grant any leases required under the contract terms (and serve any notices required to exclude the security of tenure provisions in respect of such leases).

REASON

A fully compliant above threshold tender process is underway, and a preferred supplier should be identified in August. However, the next Cabinet meeting is not scheduled until 23 September 2021.  Therefore, delegated approval is sought to ensure there is no delay in starting the project.
