Decision details

Contract Award for ‘ Highways Consultancy Support’

Decision Maker: Chief Operating Officer

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Promoting competition through open tendering was the chosen option. There were five bidders and of the five RedRay LLP was awarded the tender as they received the highest overall score. One bidder was excluded due to the value for the initial year being over the total budget.

Decision:

It was decided that the contract was awarded to RedRay LLP

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 : Existing Framework

Rejected due to specific knowledge requirement, existing frameworks including the East Sussex County Council Professional and Technical Services Framework and WSCC were explored, but not found suitable. Surrey have been out to tender for a Highways Framework but will only be awarding under Lot 1 for design services, which will not fulfil our requirements.

Option 2: Waiver

Rejected as not in line with procurement standing orders, therefore not accepted as a viable option.
