Decision details

To purchase: 1 x 4x4 Ford pick-up at a total cost of £33,062 ex VAT

The vehicle forms that part of the Ubico fleet which is old and beyond economical repair. A replacement 4x4 pick up is required to continue to deliver the service and avoid vehicle hire costs negatively impacting on the revenue budget.

A procurement exercise utilising the TPPL Purchase Framework was carried out and 16 tender responses were invited, however, only 1 compliant tender response was received.

This will be funded from within the existing capital budget provision for 2019/20 and the necessary procurement processes have been followed.

Officers have considered whether the service could continue to be delivered without this vehicle and concluded that it could not.

Officers and the cabinet member agree there is a need to procure the vehicle.

Internal consultation has taken place. The Cabinet Member, Clean and Green Environment has also been consulted.
