Decision:
RESOLVED that NWES Property Services Ltd (company registration number 05361073) is awarded a contract in the sum of £159,990 to deliver the UK Shared Prosperity Funded West Essex Business Support commission “subject to contract”.
Reasons for the decision:
A To support SME businesses across West Essex and therefore supporting growth in the local economy.
B To ensure value for money is achieved through the awarding of a tri-partite contract with Uttlesford and Epping District Councils who are providing equal funding for this commission.
Alternative options considered:
As a full open tender process has been undertaken and evaluated, the only valid option is to either award to the top bidder (as per this report’s recommendation) or not award the contract and reconsider how else the UKSPF funding could be utilised to deliver Business Support services and therefore meet the UKSPF Investment Plan.
Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:
None.
