First Tower Pumping Station: Upgrades: Pumps Procurement: Award of Contract

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

QE Article 33(b)

Subject: Award of First Tower Pumping Station Upgrades – Pumps Procurement

 

Decision(s):  The Minister awarded the Pumps Procurement to Xylem Water Solutions UK Ltd in the sum of £251,612.25.

 

Reason(s) for Decision: Xylem Water Solutions UK Ltd provided the most robust technical solution but not the lowest price. Sulzer Pumps Wastewater UK Ltd offered the lowest price but could not provide supporting information to satisfy the Evaluation Team’s concerns with aspects of the proposed installation. The risks associated with installing unproven equipment in such a location of critical infrastructure are considered to be unacceptable for the cost saving available.

 

Resource Implications: The cost is within the original estimate and sufficient funds are allocated and available in Capital Vote - Q00BT14022 Liquid Waste Strategy.

 

Action required:  Xylem Water Solutions UK Ltd to be awarded the contract for the First Tower PS Upgrades - Pumps Procurement.
