| 09 | Exemption from Standing Orders |
Standing Orders relating to contracts require that exemptions granted from the requirement to obtain tenders for contracts must be reported to a meeting of the Authority or relevant committee. After consulting the Chair of the Authority and the Treasurer, the Chief Fire Officer has agreed a request for an exemption to the requirement to obtain competitive tenders for the replacement of three four-wheel-drive incident support vehicles, as provided in the capital programme, plus an additional fourth vehicle to provide poor weather resilience and reserve and additional boat-towing capability. The request was considered reasonable, as the required specifications meant that the Brigade was unable to identify sufficient suppliers to carry out a full tender exercise. However competitive quotations have been obtained and the award will be to the lowest cost provider. Four vehicles are being purchased, although the capital budget provided for three. The additional cost of £2,900 is being met from under-spendings on other capital schemes. |

Following Fire Authority approval to the establishment of an Information and Communications (ICT) Improvements reserve budget, officers, with Member endorsement, are to commence formal dialogue with Shropshire Council to explore a shared-services arrangement for the provision of certain elements of the Service's ICT network / infrastructure. To date, this has involved commissioning an improved data link between Shirehall and the new Fire Station / Headquarters building and undertaking on-site ICT infrastructure surveys at the existing Headquarters to scope out areas of opportunity for shared services. The results of the surveys will be incorporated within the ICT Business Case to be brought before the Authority in June 2011 for consideration. |
