Decision details

Cheshire East Council currently operates two Crematoria, located in Macclesfield and Crewe. Each Crematorium has two operational cremators. The cremators were replaced in Macclesfield with modern abatement equipment in November 2011, utilising a Framework Agreement specifically established by the Council (along with other Councils) to appoint consultants and contractors to carry out the works.

The cremators at Crewe are now in urgent need of replacement and this report seeks formal approval to procure the replacement works through a contract called off under that Framework Agreement prior to the expiry of the time limit in which the Council may do so (June 2013), at a cost of £ 683,500.

1.   That approval be given to procure the replacement of the existing cremators at Crewe, utilising the framework agreement referred to in paragraph 8 of the report and the named suppliers.

2.   That approval be given to a Supplementary Capital Estimate of £683,500.
