Minutes:

The Committee were asked to consider one item of urgent business in relation to the HRA gas supply contract. On 1st October 2006, the City of London entered into a contract with Planned Maintenance Engineering (now Carillion Services) to provide Mechanical and Gas Maintenance Services to the City’s housing stock. The contract was based on an initial  5 year term followed by two further 5 year terms subject to agreement by both parties. The third 5 year term was due to commence on 1st April 2016 and would expire on 30th September 2021

 

Carillion have requested a Deed of Variation to the contract to extend the contract by only one year. This is based on their realignment of domestic gas business activities.

 

Resolved – that the following be agreed:

1. That the City Solicitor be instructed to issue a Deed of Variation to extend the contract for one year only.

2. Officers be instructed to liaise with City Procurement to commence the procurement process for the letting of a new contract with effect from 1st April 2017.
