The contract, awarded to Gasway Services Limited, is valued at £398,400 and runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026, following a call-off from a framework agreement with Eastern Procurement Limited (EPL).

As no Cabinet meeting was held in June 2024 due to the General Election, an Urgent Decision was made for a variation to the contract. The Chief Executive of Norwich City Council took this decision following consultation with the Leader of the Council, leaders of all political groups, chair of Scrutiny Committee, the Portfolio Holder for Housing, Monitoring Officer and the Chief Finance Officer. Jul24 - The contract has been varied for the period to 30 June 2025 with an reduced awarded contract value of PS198,400.00 as agreed with the supplier and framework provider. The original value of PS499,000 was incorrect but at the time of award, a final budget required was not available so. The higher value was applied so as not to cause a disruption in the work programme. On 13/11/2024 - a meeting of Cabinet was held. It was noted the dates of the initial contract period should be 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025 as originally awarded 28/03/2024 (the date up to 30/06/2025 as varied in July24 was incorrect). The optional extension option from 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026 was approved at a value of PS200,000. Contract total for full 2 years of PS398,400.00. As awarded under a Framework, the full procurement exercise is fully compliant with PCR 2015."
