Decision details

Contract extension with Silk and Mackman Services Ltd

That the Strategic Director of Resources;

1.  Approves the variation of the Door Entry and Warden Call contract with Silk and Mackman Services Ltd to extend the term of the contract for an additional period of 10 months from 1 February 2025 to 30 November 2025 at an estimated additional cost of £1.569m making a total revised estimated contract value of £9.404m.

2.  Notes the change of the procurement route for the Door Entry and Warden Call contract from a restricted procedure to a mini-competition via an external framework to ensure a new contract is in place by 1 December 2025 to align with the end of this contract (once extended).

3.  Notes that the annual Building Maintenance Index (BMI) rise, which was due in April 2024, was not applied to the contract as agreed in principle with Silk and Mackman Services Ltd and this will be evidenced in a deed of variation for this extension.
