Councillor Collett introduced the report and commented that there was a programme for privately owned homes in Watford to be provided with solid wall insulation.  Warmzones had contracted Hamiltons Building Contractors to carry out the work.  However, Warmzones had gone into administration leaving works unfinished.  The Council would now directly employ Hamiltons to complete the work and would fund this from the existing allocated capital budget instead of paying it to the Warmzones administrators.    

RESOLVED

That Cabinet notes the approved exemption to the Council’s procurement procedures in relation to external wall insulation contract.
