The Committee resolved to:

1.    Approve the appointment of Bidder C to undertake the municipal valuation programme for a period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further 1 year.

The Committee re-entered public session.

The Committee considered the appointment of new valuation surveyors to undertake the annual municipal valuation. The Council’s municipal portfolio was valued annually, with a new valuer appointed every three years in line with best practice. Four suppliers were invited to tender, and the recommended bidder achieved the highest overall quality score and submitted the most competitive pricing, representing best overall value to the Council. Local Government Reorganisation had been taken into consideration when determining the length of the contract.

The Committee noted the Council was required to undertake annual valuations and these would be provided to the new local authority. The length of the contract would ensure some length of continuity while alternative arrangements for valuations were made under the new authority.

The Committee resolved to:

1.    Approve the appointment of Bidder C to undertake the municipal valuation programme for a period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further 1 year.

2.    Delegate authority to the Group Head of Corporate Governance to enter into a contract and any ancillary legal documentation required in respect of appointment of Bidder C.
