Procurement of Contractors and Construction Consultancy Services

For the attention of Keith Griffiths

I refer to your Freedom of Information request received by e-mail dated
20.04.10 timed at 12:29 and bearing the title set out above.

I provide answers to the questions you asked, numbered in line with those
questions:

1. The Council does not procure construction consultancy services on a
regular basis having in-house staff who provide the professional/client
role usually. Therefore, when construction consultancy services are
needed they will be procured on a 'one-off' basis in accordance with the
Council's Contracts Procedure Rules and EU Procurement Regulations.
(Please note: The Council's Contracts Procedure Rules can be viewed on the
Council's website at westlancs.gov.uk, then click on the A-Z; then click
on 'C'; then click on "Constitution"; then go to "Constitution Part 4 :
Rules and Procedures" where the fourth bullet point is "Contracts
Procedure Rules" which you should click on this will allow you to view the
Council's Contracts Procedure Rules. The EU Procurement Regulations can
be accessed via the following link

2. Again, the Construction Contractors are procured in accordance with
the Council's Contracts Procedure Rules and EU Procurement Regulations.
Being a second tier Authority and, therefore, not having responsibility
for education, the Council's construction contracts tend to be towards the
lower end of the national value spectrum for such contracts.

3. The Council has some frameworks and these are all in respect of its
housing stock. The information in respect of each framework is set out
below:
