This report seeks approval to award an interim contract to Scottish and Southern Energy Contracting Ltd (SSE) to continue to provide a broad range of essential property maintenance services in County Council buildings throughout West Sussex.
The interim contract is to run from 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2019 with a contract value up to £2.4m for this six month period.
This interim contract will enable the incumbent maintenance contractor to continue with the fulfilment of the County Council's ongoing building related statutory and other obligations. This will help ensure that the County Council’s buildings remain open and provide safe, compliant and appropriate environments to support the delivery of all County Council services.
This requirement has arisen due to the additional time required to procure a new term maintenance contract in full compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and the County Council’s Standing Orders on Procurement and Contracts.
