For Discussion at Reports Meeting On 15 11/299 PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL Enterprise and Infrastructure Committee – 8 June 2011 TENDERS ACCEPTED AND WORKS AWARDED UNDER DELEGATED POWERS Report by the Executive Director (Environment) This report details the tenders accepted and works awarded by the Executive Director (Environment) under delegated powers during the period 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011. It also details tenders accepted and contracts awarded for Public, Education and Community Care Transport under similar powers for the same period. RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee is asked to note the contents of this report and the contract awards as detailed in the attached Appendices 1 to 5, and in Appendices 6, 7, 8 and 9 available in the Councillors’ lounge. BACKGROUND Roads and Planning 1. Under the Scheme of Administration, the Executive Director (Environment) is authorised to accept tenders of any value where: a. the most economically advantageous tender is to be accepted and b. the amount of the tender to be accepted is within the authorised estimates of expenditure of the Council; 2. In the case of the Annual Tenders, these rates are accepted annually by the Executive Director (Environment). 3. This report lists all tenders accepted and works awarded, of value in excess of £5,000, by the Executive Director (Environment) in the period 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011. 4. The five appendices attached to this report are: 1. Individual Contracts won in Open Competitive Tender. 2. Works awarded to Tayside Contracts after Value for Money assessment, without competitive tender. 3. Works won competitively under Annual Tenders. 4. Works procured by Other Means. 5. Works awarded through Consultancy Term Commission. 97 Public Transport 5. Within the Scheme of Administration, the Executive Director (Environment) has delegated powers to accept competitive tenders for Public, Education and Community Care Transport contracts. All tenders are evaluated to determine awards that are the most economically advantageous from the Council’s perspective. When considering tenders, the Council takes into account factors such as price, quality, operational proposals and technical merit. 6. The ‘Contracts for the Transport of Passengers: Results of Contracts Awarded’ document (Appendices 6, 7, 8 and 9 – available in the Councillors’ Lounge) details contract decisions made by the Executive Director (Environment) in respect of Public, Education and Community Care Transport contracts from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011. 7. Under ‘de minimis’ and ‘emergency’ provisions the Council has the ability, in certain circumstances, to establish transport contracts without the need to obtain tenders. Any contracts established in this manner are reported in the contract awards detailed in Appendix 6 and 7. 8. The Council continued to operate a Community Transport Fund in Financial Year 2010/2011. The Executive Director (Environment) invited applications from voluntary sector organisations that provided or co-ordinated passenger transport related services in their communities or from organisations who were interested in doing so in the future. As a result, five projects were awarded funding in November 2010 (see Appendix 8). A second bidding round was then undertaken; with a further five grants awards in March 2011, which are detailed in Appendix 9. 9. On two occasions during Financial Year 2010/2011, the Executive Director (Environment) used the Public Contracts Scotland ‘Quick Quote’ online quotation facility to award transport related contacts: one involving the purchase of seven bus shelters, whilst the other resulted in the procurement of electronic ticket machine (ETM) data analysis and contract monitoring software. These ‘Quick Quote’ awards are detailed in Appendix 9. PROPOSALS 10. The Committee is asked to note the contents of this report. CONSULTATION 11. The Head of Legal Services, the Head of Democratic Services, the Executive Director (Education & Children's Services) and the Executive Director (Housing & Community Care) have been consulted in the preparation of this report. 98 RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS Revenue 12. The revenue implications of the Public, Education and Community Care transport contracts were accommodated within the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 budgets for The Environment Service, Education & Children’s Services and Housing & Community Care. COUNCIL CORPORATE PLAN OBJECTIVES 2009-2012 13. The Council’s Corporate Plan 2009-2012 lays out five Objectives which provide clear strategic direction, inform decisions at a corporate and service level and shape resources allocation. This report impacts on the following:- (i) A Safe, Secure and Welcoming Environment (ii) A Prosperous, Sustainable and Inclusive Economy (iii) Confident, Active and Inclusive Communities EQUALITIES IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EqIA) 14. An equality impact assessment needs to be carried out for functions, policies, procedures or strategies in relation to race, gender and disability and other relevant protected characteristics. This supports the Council’s legal requirement to comply with the duty to assess and consult on relevant new and existing policies. 15. The function, policy, procedure or strategy presented in this report was considered under the Corporate Equalities Impact Assessment process (EqIA) with the following outcome: (i) Assessed as not relevant for the purposes of EqIA. STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 16. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a legal requirement under the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005 that applies to all qualifying plans, programmes and strategies, including policies (PPS). 17. The matters presented in this report were considered under the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005 and no further action is required as it does not qualify as a PPS as defined by the Act and is therefore exempt. 99 CONCLUSION 18. This report reflects best practice in terms of governance of the Council’s affairs. JIM IRONS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (ENVIRONMENT) NOTE No background papers as defined by Section 50D of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (other than any containing confidential or exempt information) were relied on to any material extent in preparing the above Report.

  • CSOH 41 P767/19 OPINION of LADY WISE in the Petition of PERTH
    OUTER HOUSE, COURT OF SESSION [2020] CSOH 41 P767/19 OPINION OF LADY WISE In the Petition of PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL Petitioner: for Judicial Review of a decision by the Scottish Ministers to issue a call-in notice under the schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 Against THE SCOTTISH MINISTERS Respondent: Petitioner: Mure QC: Brodies Respondent: Ross QC; Charteris: Scottish Government Legal Directorate 7 May 2020 Introduction [1] The petitioner is a local authority which, like all Scottish local authorities, has a duty to organise and provide education in its area and in performing those functions is properly described as an education authority. One of the primary schools within the petitioner’s area of responsibility is Abernyte Primary School (“Abernyte”). The school is a rural school, situated within the village of Abernyte, which lies around seven miles west of Dundee. The closest primary school to Abernyte is Inchture Primary School, approximately 3.4 miles 2 away. On 27 May 2019 the petitioner notified the Scottish Ministers (“the respondents”), of a decision to implement a proposal to close Abernyte. There followed a period during which the respondents received representations, at the end of which they decided to issue a call-in notice in terms of the relevant legislation, the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010, as amended (“the 2010 Act”). The petitioner seeks to challenge and reduce the respondents’ call-in notice dated 16 July 2019. The legislative scheme [2] The 2010 Act introduced a comprehensive consultation scheme that must be followed where any Scottish education authority is considering closure of a school.
