Request to waive contract procedure rules in
repect of a direct award for 48 months for a health and safety
audit and incident management software.
Competitve process was carried out but did not identify an
experienced Health and Safety software provider in line with the
requirements specification.
In line with Rule 24 within the Corporate
Procedure Rules, waiver of Rule 23 in order to direct award to
Airsweb. This solution has already been tested and currently used
by North Tyneside Council as a successful solution. Contract to be
awarded on Council terms and conditions. Costs have been
benchmarked and represent value for money.
Reason - To ensure original timescales are adhered to with full
roll-out expected 1 April 2020 and also falls within expected costs
of £104,760 throughout 4 year contract term for all essential
and desirable elements listed.
Closed competitive process where the suppliers
already have an establishe system in line with requirements, this
would result in timescales being pushed back.
