Decision details

Extension of the existing Lorne Stewart Hard FM contract for two month

Decision Maker: Executive Director: Growth and Regeneration

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

With the Hard FM contract being out to tender, due to the amount of clarification questions from bidders, an extension to the bidder’s return date was agreed, therefore, we needed to extend the existing Hard FM contract by the two months.

Decision:

Based upon current spend, a two month extension to the existing arrangement has been agreed, with the new Hard FM contract coming into effect on 1st July 2025

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Due to the need for compliance activities to be met, a new contractor would not have been mobilised by the end of the existing arrangement (30/4/25), therefore, a two month extension is the only option.
