I DECLARATION OF INTEREST

 

There were no declarations of interest.

 

II REGISTERED TENANT ORGANISATIONS

 

There was submitted Agenda Note AN22-2026, requesting that Committee note the registration of the following organisations as Registered Tenants Organisations:-

 

- Federation of Tenants Association

- Lochee Residents and Tenants Organisations

 

In line with Dundee City Councils commitment to tenant participation, the Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services welcomed these applications which fulfilled the criteria set out in the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001.

 

The Committee noted the content of the note as submitted.

 

III PROCUREMENT SOURCING STRATEGY APPROVAL FOR REMOVALS FRAMEWORKS

 

There was submitted Report No 113-2026 by the Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services, presenting the procurement sourcing strategy that had been completed for a removals services framework (for the transportation and storage of goods from domestic properties). This was to ensure that the Housing Services could comply with statutory duties under housing and homelessness legislations and provide other housing functions such as decanting tenants. Access to the framework would be available to other services within the Council, subject to compliance with the framework call off rules.

 

The Committee agreed:-

 

(i) to note the information contained within the report;

 

(ii) to approve the proposed route to market as outlined in the report (as set out in Section 6 of the report) in compliance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015; and

 

(iii) to note that any contract awards to be made under this framework, that were not covered by delegation provided to officers within the Standing Orders and Financial Regulations, would be brought back to members for consideration.
