This report seeks approval of a sourcing strategy for property management contract renewals.

Appendix 1 to this report is exempt from publication in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended), because it contains:

Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information). The public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing as it could put the Council at a competitive disadvantage in the procurement of these goods and services.

There had been a comprehensive tendering exercise carried out.  The process for evaluating the bids that had been submitted was noted.

The Committee:

·         approved the proposed sourcing strategy for property management contract renewals (a mini-tender with the Property Management consultancies on Lot 5 of SBC’s Professional Services Framework Agreement);

·         noted the proposed timetable for the procurement of the commercial and retail property management contracts.
