The Service Director Performance and Innovation submitted a report seeking Portfolio Holder agreement for an exemption to the Council’s contract procedures in order to place an extension of the contract with Key Engineering for the supply of goods to Wyre Council.
Decision
The portfolio holder agreed that Key Engineering be granted an extension of the contract for three years with an option to extend for one year to supply PPE, cleaning materials and consumables to Wyre Council and that approval be given to proceed under the exemption to Contract Procedures contained within the Financial Regulations and Financial Procedure Rules on the grounds that exceptions may apply where “the goods, works or services constitute an extension or variation of an existing contract.”
